PD: Teenager Tried To Rob Officer At Police Station
WILMER (CBSDFW.COM) – If you had to pick a place to rob — a police station would probably be at the bottom of the list. That would be you. But one would-be North Texas robber apparently thought PD was a good place to ‘knock off.’
Police say Keithan Manuel walked into the Wilmer Police Department Saturday evening. The 18-year-old had a white towel covering his hands.
Police Chief Victor Kemp described the incident saying, “Yeah well, a young man walked into the lobby and approached the dispatch window there and told our Communications Officer ‘give me all your money.’”
After pointing a towel-covered hand at the officer and making the statement, Manuel soon changed his tune and claimed he was there to get some information.
“He said he’d like to check on a warrant, but it was pretty obvious it was a situation…he gave a different name and after a few moments of maybe playing it off he said ‘you do know I have a gun’. At that point he seemed to be very serious,” Chief Kemp said.
It was then the officer decided she didn’t feel like ‘joking’.
“She called for officers immediately and called for backup from another agency,” Kemp recalled. “The officers arrived and were able to take him down at gunpoint.”
Manuel didn’t have a weapon.
Manuel remains is in the Dallas County Jail with a $200,000 bond for several charges, including Robbery.
Of the entire incident Chief Kemp said, “This young man wasn’t using his head for sure.” “You hear of those World’s Dumbest Criminals every once in a while but you never think it’s gonna happen in your city.”
