Uniontown, Pa. – Police in a Pennsylvania city arrested a man who attempted to rob a pizza shop last weekend after matching him to a roll of toilet paper found in his home, CBS Pittsburgh reports.
Uniontown Police say 29-year-old Eric Frey tried to rob the pizza store by handing an employee a note written on toilet paper. The note read, “I have a gun. Give me $300.”
An employee hit a panic button and police arrived before Frey could leave.
Frey told police he was forced to commit the robbery by a man who had accosted him in a nearby alley. But when police searched Frey’s apartment, they found a freshly opened roll of toilet paper with the pen impression from Frey’s note still present.
Frey was taken to jail where he remains on a $25,000 bond.
