Shreveport, Louisiana

From Shreveport‘s UPN-21.com of August 24, 2005
Fork is weapon of choice in armed robbery attempt

In an attempt to get the clerk to fork over the cash, a robber held up a convenience store Wednesday afternoon .. with a fork. It happened at the Food Mart on Hearne and Blanchard in Shreveport. The would-be robber came at the clerk with the fork, wrapped up to look like a gun. When the clerk realized the weapon was a fork, she grabbed a bat from behind the counter, hit the robber and chased him outside. That's when a man pumping gas pulled out a gun and held the robber until police arrived. Police promptly arrested Drrick (sic) Dwayne Franklin and charged him with attempted armed robbery.
