Questions raised over fair promotion of RM, NewJeans
A man remains in a Texas jail after allegedly attempting to hold up a police station, a report said.
Police said Keithan Manuel, 18, entered the Police Department building in Wilmer, Texas, near Dallas, Saturday evening with a towel covering his hands and a demand for money.
"A young man walked into the lobby and approached the dispatch window and told our communications officer, 'Give me all your money,'" is how Police Chief Victor Kemp described the incident.
Manuel did not have a weapon, but dispatcher Patrice Hughey said Manuel told her, "You know I have a gun, right?"
"She called for officers immediately. The officers arrived and were able to take him down at gunpoint," Kemp said.
Manuel, in Dallas County Jail on several charges, including burglary, claims he visited the police station seeking information on a warrant, and was joking about the holdup, telling KTVT-TV, Dallas-Fort Worth, "I play like that all the time. I didn't think she would take it seriously."
"You hear of those world's dumbest criminals every once in a while but you never think it's going to happen in your city," Kemp said. (UPI)

"세계에서 가장 멍청한 범죄자"?
미국에서 한 10대가 경찰서에 쳐들어가 강도질을 하려다 즉시 체포되는 황당한 사건이 발생했다.
UPI통신이 보도한 바에 따르면 키슨 마누엘(18)은 5일(현지시간) 텍사스 주 윌머에 위치한 경찰서에 들어가 연결담당원인 패트리스 휴이에게 돈을 내놓으라고 요구했다.
마누엘은 총기를 갖고 있지 않았지만 손을 수건으로 덮은 뒤 “나 총 있는거 알죠?”라고 말했다.
휴이는 즉시 경관들을 불렀고, 이들은 곧바로 마누엘을 제압했다.
이미 절도 등의 혐의로 여러 번 수감되었던 마누엘은 그가 경찰서를 찾은 것은 영장에 대한 정보를 얻기 위해서였고, 장난 삼아 협박을 했을 뿐이라고 해명했다.
“전 항상 그런 장난을 해요. 그 여자가 진지하게 받아들일 줄은 몰랐다고요,”라고 그는 말했다.
현지 경찰인 빅터 켐프는 “가끔 세계에서 가장 멍청한 범죄자들에 대한 이야기를 듣습니다만, 우리 도시에도 있을 줄은 상상도 못했습니다”라며 당혹스런 심정을 표현했다. (코리아헤럴드)
