Idiot Uses His Debit Card During Holdup

Here's a man with a contingency plan.

Kanawha County Deputies charge a man with a gas station holdup after he allegedly used his own bank card to pay for a $1.47 Mountain Dew during the robbery attempt.

Shawn Thomas Lester, 33, of Charleston is charged with armed robbery.

He allegedly was holding up the Certified Station in Sissonville Monday when a customer came in.

Court documents say he paid for the drink and left after signing a fake name to the receipt.

A deputy traced him thru the card.

A quick thinker, he signed the name John Doe on the receipt.

Seriously.

Lester handed over his debit card, then signed the receipt "John Doe" and left without any cash.
