Man Wearing Dress Robs Covina Grocery Store

(CBS) COVINA, Calif. A man dressed in women's clothing was arrested after allegedly brandishing a knife while stealing alcohol from a Covina supermarket, police reported Friday.

Allen Valle allegedly entered the Albertsons store at 1000 N. Azusa Ave. about 7:30 a.m. Thursday wearing a "house dress" and picked up three cans of beer and a bottle of vodka.

He then walked past a clerk while brandishing a knife and said, "I'm not paying for this," and left the store, according to Covina police Sgt. Jim Mangiapane.

Employees followed Valle, 25, and called police using a cell phone.

Valle was booked on suspicion of robbery.

"I'm not paying for this" is the best possible line to justify that situation. Also, I imagine him doing the showbiz motion (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=11222005).
And why would you need a bottle of vodka and three beers? Are the beers the chaser for the vodka?

I also like that he was booked on "suspicions of robbery." Is there any more clear situation of robbery than going into a store, picking up merchandise, telling employees you won't be paying for it, and leaving?

If you're going to use a weapon during a liquor heist, why not walk outta there with a cart full of Johnnie Walker Blue Label? Why would you just limit yourself to a bottle of vodka and three cans of beer?

Up here, JWB costs $350 a bottle. I am told that in reasonable parts of the country that it is around $250.

Well, in this dude's defense, he was clearly insane.

This was not a crime of need or greed.

This is a crime of thinking that you are Jerry Sizzler and your sister is Jerry Sizzler.

Fixed that for you. 

What do you bet that the guy took a twelve of Milwaukee's Best and a big ol' plastic jug of Abramoff Vodak?  Shit, if I'm gonna commit robbery, I'm gonna steal the good stuff.  But under $300 worth.
