When Klingons Go Bad
Colorado Springs police are looking for a man who hit two 7-Eleven convenience stores early Wednesday, armed with a Klingon sword inspired by the Star Trek science fiction series.The first robbery was reported at 1:50 a.m., at 145 N Spruce St. The clerk told police a white male in his 20s, wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and wearing a black mask, entered the store with a sword. The suspect demanded money and left with an undisclosed amount. A half hour later, police received a call from a 7-Eleven at 2407 N Union Blvd, where a male matching the previous description entered the store with a sword. He also demanded money from the store clerk. The clerk did not give him any money and the suspect transported himself out of the store on foot. Both clerks described the weapon as a Star Trek Klingon type sword, called a "Batleth." Neither clerk was injured in the robberies. Posted by: Anonymoose 2009-02-04 |
