ASHLAND, KY. -- A man wearing a ski mask held up an eastern Kentucky ice cream store with a stapler - and briefly got away with $175. Ashland Police Capt. Don Petrella said he didn't know if Rocchi planned to shoot staples at the shop's employees or use it as a blunt instrument if he didn't get the cash. It didn't come to that because the employees handed over the cash, Petrella said.
BTW - This is the same town that produced the infamous DUCT TAPE BANDIT

I'm a little nervous. I'm coming to Berea to see my family for Thanksgiving, I hope I don't get beat to death with a stapler. That would be embarassing.

yeah..the crime up here is getting ridiculous. First it was paper clips, then duct tape, now staplers. What's next? Paperweights?
I love Berea! Been to the crafts fair a few times. We may go visit downtown during the Christmas season. I forgot you have family here. Deep down you know you're a Wildcat fan don't you?

I heard the craft fair is the major thing of the year in Berea. I could've maybe been a Wildcat fan, but I'm too far into Brunjes world. I've committed. I'm a Gator for life now.
