Wilnelia Caraballo, Moron of the Day, Robs Store With Plastic Uzi While Hammered
Tuesday, September 27, 2011 at 8:00 am
We suspect 19-year-old Wilnelia Caraballo spent Saturday night getting way hammered, leaving her unprepared for the early-morning robbery she had scheduled for the next morning. That meant she apparently couldn't find her real gun when she headed off to work...

| Moral of the story: Never go out drinking the night before a work day |
Police in Palm Bay, Florida say she arrived at the Kangaroo Express convenience store just before 6 a.m. She was wearing a clear plastic mask and was armed with her replacement weapon, a plastic gun that looked like an Uzi.
The clerks were in back when she showed up at the store, so Wilnelia walked behind the counter, hoping to score a vast bounty of Slim Jims and Salem lights. That's when an alert clerk, who was stocking the cooler, decided to yell "Palm Bay police! Get on the ground!"
In her hammered state, Wilnelia was unable to differentiate between real police and a guy filling a cooler with milk. She hit the ground.
But she must have realized that the police weren't actually on the premises, so she took off running. One of the clerks captured her and held her till the cops arrived.
She was charged with attempted armed robbery, felonious inability to hold one's liquor, and being completely unprepared for a successful convenience store takedown.
