Caution: Trying to Rob Someone Can Get You Punched in the Face

In other unusual police news from the area, there was a deer who's training to be an escape artist.

Let this be a lesson, kids. Try to rob someone and you could get punched in the face.

The kicker? (Or should we call it, "puncher?") The guy who tried to rob the other guy first punched a sign, apparently to indicate that he would punch the victim should he not hand over his cash. But instead of following through on his threat, the would-be-robber got punched by his victim, and was arrested. Classic.

Dog bites aren't funny. But this domino effect kind of is.

Disclaimer: I love dogs. All dogs. Even the dog that bit my little dog a couple of years ago. So, it's totally cool for me to make light of this situation in Milford earlier this week:  (The dogs and the human are OK.)
