Authorities in Oklahoma are on the hunt for a robber who held up a convenience store while wearing a bizarre football-head mask. The unusual caper reportedly occurred early Sunday morning in the community of Ponca City. One imagines that the clerk at the local Stop-N-Go did something of a double take when the ne'er-do-well first walked into the shop while wearing the weird headpiece. However, if they were wondering why the customer had donned the odd mask, their question was soon answered when he pulled out a small revolver and demanded all of their cash.
The strange disguise may have helped to conceal the crook's identity, though a video of the holdup (seen above) suggests that he may have actually regretted his choice of headgear as the frantic young man can be seen repeatedly trying to keep the unwieldy mask from falling off as he wildly instructs the clerk to hand over the money. Although he managed to make it out of the store without fumbling the football-head, his unforgettable attire has undoubtedly led to the robbery receiving far more attention than if he had simply worn a ski mask or something similarly unremarkable.
