Would-Be Robber Not So Sharp

In Tennessee, a woman has tried to rob a convenience store using a Sharpie marker as a weapon.

Donna Faye Pectol had the Sharpie marker in her pocket when she entered the store and asked about some milk and if the store was hiring.  She then made the clerk believe that she had a gun in her pocket by causing the Sharpie marker to point outward from inside her jacket.  She was charged with attempted aggravated armed robbery as a result of this stupidity.

Luckily, Pectol was acting so weird while she was in the store, the clerk wrote down the tag number of her car before the "robbery" happened.

She demanded money but the store owner told her she didn't have any.  There was a brief struggle and then the owner dialed 911 and Pectol ran to her car and sped off.

After being called about the robbery, police responded to the store and were given a description of Pectol and her car.  They tracked her down at her home and took her into custody.
