UPI) -- A man remains in a Texas jail after allegedly attempting to hold up a police station, a report said.
Police said Keithan Manuel, 18, entered the Police Department building in Wilmer, Texas, near Dallas, Saturday evening with a towel covering his hands and a demand for money.
"A young man walked into the lobby and approached the dispatch window and told our communications officer, 'Give me all your money,'" is how Police Chief Victor Kemp described the incident.
Manuel did not have a weapon, but dispatcher Patrice Hughey said Manuel told her, "You know I have a gun, right?"
"She called for officers immediately. The officers arrived and were able to take him down at gunpoint," Kemp said.
Manuel, in Dallas County Jail on several charges, including burglary, claims he visited the police station seeking information on a warrant, and was joking about the holdup, telling KTVT-TV, Dallas-Fort Worth, "I play like that all the time. I didn't think she would take it seriously."
"You hear of those world's dumbest criminals every once in a while but you never think it's going to happen in your city," Kemp said.

basically.
I don't know if I believe this version of the story, maybe this particular source cut out some key parts because I read another version of this story that said that he did the fake robbery thing once but then said that he was joking and then that was that, but then he did it again and again until the lady finally had enough and only then did she call the boys in.
I don't believe that the guy was that stupid. He knew it was police station and he didnt have a gun on him, so it would make no sense for him to try to rob the place. He was just ? with them. Problem is, like freehury said, you can't ? around with police. That's only where he got stupid.
