GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Authorities said a man wearing a sleeping bag as a cape and carrying a screwdriver as a weapon tried to rob someone in the parking lot of a Gainesville business.
Police said a 46-year-old man approached the intended victim early Sunday morning and asked for money.
When the man refused, police said the man threw off the cape and pulled the screwdriver from his waistband. The other man quickly ran into a store and called 911.
The suspect was arrested a few blocks away and charged with attempted armed robbery. He was being held on $20,000 bail.
