Dont bring an Iphone to a knife fight

Police say that 20 year old Jerome Taylor was only trying to take care of a child after he was arrested for attempted robbery of a restaurant in New England, CT. Taylor wore a mask as he entered the Northern Indian restaurant on Wednesday afternoon. He pulled what the cooks thought was a gun and demanded money, according to the police. But the cooks grabbed knives and said they weren't handing anything over. Taylor became apologetic and told the cooks he was only kidding and that he needed money for his child, police said.

Taylor was gone by the time police arrived, but they caught up with him a short time later. Officers said Taylor confessed to the crime, but told them he didn't have a gun, but used an iPhone. The restaurant staff said they felt bad for Taylor and didn't want police to pursue charges, but officers arrested him anyway, charging him with attempted robbery and interfering with an officer.
