Man Tries To Rob A Casino By Spreading His Infection

I've heard of many ways of people trying to rob banks and convenience stores. But this is definitely a first way I've heard of someone trying to rob a place.

Police say a man walked into a western Pennsylvania gambling parlor by threatening to spread a staph infection. Police say he walked into Lucky's Internet Cafe in Sharon on Monday night and began touching the walls and gambling machines, claiming he has MRSA -- a serious staph infection that resists antibiotics.

Police then said Parker then threatened to infect the cashier if he didn't give Parker money. Officials said "It's our first case of robbery by threat of an infectious disease."

the cashier was not afraid of getting staph and refused, but was later arrested.
