Police say a suspect in a Pennsylvania liquor store stick up tripped himself up by leaving fingerprints on a whiskey bottle before pulling a gun and telling a cashier he was robbing the place to help his kids.
Pedro Ewing is charged with robbery, retail theft and other offenses in the April 3 holdup at a state-owned store in Wilkes-Barre Township.
Online court records don't list a court date or a lawyer to comment on the charges. Authorities say the 42-year-old Pittsburgh man is also wanted in Los Angeles.
Police say Ewing left his booze clues when he put a $32 fifth of Gentleman Jack back on a shelf, swiping a $60 half-gallon bottle instead.
Police say Ewing pulled a gun on the clerk and got away with $82 cash.
