Investigators say two men walked into a Benzie County gas station with a gun and demanded money.

Police say it happened early this morning at the Shell gas station in Honor. They say the two men had come in earlier and told the cashier they would be back to rob the store later.

The cashier then called 911, and around 3 in the morning, the two suspects came back and robbed the station while holding the clerk at gun point.  However, police say they where there and the men where arrested.

Well someone has to send this one to Jay Leno. He needs to have it on his Monday night Headlines under the "stupid Criminal" section.

Wow, tell someone your going to rob them, leave and come back. guess they could have left their driver's license.

These bozos must have been drunk, high, or all of the above. No one in their right mind would do this.

Wow

I wish they would have known the robbers who stole our Jeep on Monday night, perhaps some advance warning would have been of help to us in finding them as well!!

I wish all criminals were this "smart", as we'd catch quite a few!!

What a couple of bozos. Great job on the part of the clerk to make the call and the police for staying with it and treating it like a hoax.

Are these robbers the product of public schools, drug abuse, fetal alcohol syndrome? Pardon the term, but they must be absolute knumbskulls.
