Man runs out of gas after robbing Florida gas station
CAPE HAZE, Fla —
Authorities said Wednesday they arrested a man who apparently forgot to fill up when he was robbing a gas station. The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office said a 23-year-old man used a Bowie knife to rob a Cape Haze gas station early Sunday. Deputies said the man pulled the 12-inch blade and demanded money. But when he left, a customer followed him and called 911.
While deputies were looking for signs of the robber, a newspaper carrier told them that a man in a car matching the one from the robbery had run out of gas nearby.
The man was arrested several hours after the robbery and charged with robbery with a weapon and loitering/prowling. He was released Monday on $10,500 bail.

He can afford $10,500 bail, but not gas for his car.
My tip: gas up first, hit the chips rack, soda then cigs. Sometimes I like the beefsticks at the counter if I have a sore throat and they are good quality.

Unless the 2009 stimulus is paying bail-bonds. = Not even Dog the Bounty Hunter's wife would bail out this loser.
