Police are pointing fingers at a Florida man accused of attempting to rob a store while armed only with a finger gun, a police report shows.
Paul James Sinclair, 56, entered a Florida store Monday afternoon with his hand tucked in his shirt, positioned as if he had a gun, according to the report, obtained by the Smoking Gun. He then ordered the cashier to hand over the money in the cash register, which totaled $120, and she obliged, the report added. He was apprehended at 1:36 p.m., just minutes after he entered the store at around 1:25 p.m., the report noted.
It isn’t known how the suspect was apprehended so quickly, or whether the cashier was able to alert authorities while the unarmed robbery was ongoing. He warned her not to “press any buttons” or alert authorities in any other way during the incident, the report said.
