A suspect is in custody after using a pipe to rob a 7/11 in Lakewood this morning, TLS has learned.
The suspect reportedly walked into the 7/11 on River Avenue in Lakewood around 5:00 AM, and made off with two packs of cigarettes. He then placed the pipe behind a vehicle in the Priority Auto Mall parking lot.
Police canvassed the area and located the man a short time later in the area of Lake Carasaljo. He was taken into custody without further incident.
The suspect was charged with armed robbery.
Surveillance video obtained by TLS from Priority Auto Mall shows the suspect running from 7/11 pipe in hand following the robbery.

Plpe-Carrying Thief Tells Police, “It Was All A Pipe Dream!”
When asked why he was carrying a pipe with him while robbing a 7/11 on Sunday, the thief, who made off with two packs of cigarettes, told police:
“Because I had a dream last night that I would walk out of 7/11 on Sunday with hoards of cash. In the dream, I was holding a pipe in my hand; so I decided to bring along a pipe with me while robbing the store. However, little did I know, the pipe I saw in my dream was actually a symbolic warning to me that the dream was nothing more than a pipe dream and completely void from reality! I mean, two packs of cigs, come on, that’s ridiculous!”
The thief then reflected on what he had just said, and suddeny changed gears: “But maybe the dream was indeed real, and all I had to do to was purchase a scratch-off ticket at the counter instead of robbing the store, and I would have walked off with hoards of cash!”
“But now,” he lamented, “instead of tons of cash, all I got was two measly packs of cigarettes and prison time!”
My comment wasn’t about asinine commenter it was in response to comment about Shawn Frederick and his mental condition that the Lakewood Police knows about, the Behavioral Health knows about and the hospital
The commenter sounds asinine because of mental health issues bipolar/ schizophrenia and off his medication. In State of NJ you can’t force patients to take medication even though they need it
@Frederick
Perhaps you’re new here.
Asinine Commenter is an anonymous guy – or maybe a girl, I wouldn’t know, but I’m thinking probably not – who spends his free time writing comic relief parody comments sporadically, like every 10th article or so. I find him somewhat amusing, sometimes more sometimes less, but I hope he stays on for quite some time!

Did he get arrested for this?
