Surveillance Equipment Strikes Again

Sometimes I wonder what criminals are thinking.... If they're thinking at all.  In this day and age where there are cameras on phones and surveillance equipment is more affordable, I'd be afraid to even TRY illegal activity (other than speeding, but that's beside the point). But not this guy. He didn't hide his face or nothing geeee-zus! *in my Sweet Brown voice*

The Tuscaloosa Police Department Criminal Investigation Division is asking for your help in identifying a suspect in a Robbery case where a clerk was assaulted. On July 27, 2013 at 11:30 am, Tuscaloosa Police received a call of a robbery that occurred at the Family Variety Convenience Store at 911 E Crescent Ridge Rd.

An unknown male pictured below went into rob the store and a struggle ensued between the suspect and the clerk, according to police.

With a cash reward and pictures this clear, this guy might as well have smiled and waved into the camera. He is so busted!
