DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- A convenience store clerk got a little unexpected help this week as he tried to tell police about the man who had just robbed his store.

"He's about 5 feet 10," Harpal Singh told police over the phone.

Then the suspect, who had suddenly returned to the store, spoke up to correct him.

"I'm 6-2," the man said.

"About 6-2," Singh corrected himself to police, "and about 38 years old."

"I'm 34," the man said, correcting Singh again. Then the man asked for his wallet back, which the robber had dropped when he had tried earlier to steal a bag of cigarette cartons and had taken off running.

A moment later, a Polk County deputy sheriff arrived and arrested Steven Hebron, 34, of Des Moines. Hebron was charged with second-degree robbery and remained jailed Thursday on $13,000 bond.

Good one! Sometimes stupid people are a riot.

About a year ago someone wanted by the Erie police who had fled to another state got drunk and jumped into a police car thinking it was a taxi. They checked him out and he is now sitting in prison.
