N.C. teen charged with banana stickup
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. Authorities in North Carolina say a store owner and a patron thwarted a teen accused of trying to carry out a robbery by concealing a banana beneath his shirt to resemble a gun.
Winston-Salem authorities say John Szwalla, 17, entered the Internet cafe Thursday, demanded money and said he had a gun.
Owner, Bobby Ray Mabe, said he and a customer jumped Szwalla, holding him until deputies arrived. While they waited, Mabe said the teen ate the banana.
