A topless man who robbed a convenience store at knife point early Wednesday morning was wearing underwear - as a mask.
Police arrested Dennis Grey Stone, 46, on suspicion of robbing a Stripes in the 1900 block of John Stockbauer Drive at about 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday. The bare-chested robber, described as a heavy-set, black man wearing jeans and a mask, carried a knife, a store employee told police.
The clerk ran when the masked man entered, Chief Bruce Ure said. The robber also fled.
Officers searched for a silver sedan, similar to a PT Cruiser, based on witness description, Ure said.
As police searched the area, Sgt. Eline Moya noticed a silver Ford Focus parked beside the Cimmaron Express at 1402 John Stockbauer Drive. Inside the car, Stone was putting on a white T-shirt, Ure said.
When Moya turned on her patrol car's flood lights, the man fled in the sedan and officers chased him for more than four miles, Ure said.
The car was stopped in the 6500 block of Lone Tree Road. A pair of black underwear - Ure did not know if they were boxers or briefs - was found in the car, along with a crack pipe.
Stone, a Victoria resident, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated robbery, evading arrest with a vehicle and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Police suspect Stone committed at least two more recent robberies, in which convenience store clerks were threatened with knives.
He was being held at the Victoria County Jail.

At least he took the potato out first before sticking his head in his britches.
That WAS a potato, wasn't it?

It is the taking of evidence that becomes the problem. There are not enough rubber gloves to go around. Remember - note to bad guy - the skid mark should go in the back, not over the nose.

maybe the underwear was his partner in crime's underwear. police should be on the lookout for a underwearless drug addict.
July 9, 2009 at 9:45 a.m.John, if he was good boy and followed his mom's life instructions, he had clean underwear.
"now dennis, when you rob a stripes store, always wear clean underwear over your head, dear."
July 9, 2009 at 9:37 a.m.I think the pic at the top of this story is in very poor taste.....
July 9, 2009 at 9:34 a.m.not defending the perp...just think that this illustrates the caliber of the journalists working for the VA....and the editors that put their stamp of approval on it as well......
This is why I am a strong vocal advocate in support of more law enforcement officers on the streets.
On a lighter note, I hope he remembered to wear “clean underwear”, LoL.
You know what the judge should make him do as apart of his punishment, stand in front of the store he robbed during the busiest time for a weeek; with underwear on his head and a sign saying, “I robbed this store because I had my head up my ass”.
July 9, 2009 at 9:25 a.m.do they do anger management there too? sounds like a good therapy for you as well ru.
July 9, 2009 at 9:22 a.m.this fella' sounds like a candidate for a scholarship for Billy T. Cattan Recover Outreach. Or maybe he's already a graduate of their program.
July 9, 2009 at 9:14 a.m.I think the picture at the top of this story is hilarious.
July 9, 2009 at 6:53 a.m.Crack is one problem.......But he doesn't even know where to put them uderwear on.....YES....! CRACK......! Is the problem.......
July 9, 2009 at 1:35 a.m.I hope the underwear were clean! Will they identify him by the poop stains?.........I know I know I couldn't resist!
July 9, 2009 at 1:19 a.m.Ahhhh......Salazaa......recession, repression, man it's all the same thing!
July 8, 2009 at 7:05 p.m.he had allot of crack on him!
July 8, 2009 at 6:48 p.m.Sounds like a Cheech and Chong movie.
Fat black guy named Stone in black underwear with crack pipe robs Stripes and attempts to escapes police in a silver focus but gets caught by police woman.
July 8, 2009 at 6:28 p.m.Boxers or briefs? OR--a thong? ;)
July 8, 2009 at 5:38 p.m.yup gotta get that money for another 'rock'
July 8, 2009 at 4:43 p.m.If he was still wearing the tee shirt over his head while trying to escape, I surprised he didn't have a crackup. ;>b
