Candy bar used as a weapon scares Kansas store manager

Kit KatWICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Police say a man used a candy bar in place of a weapon in what a manager thought was a robbery at a Wichita convenience store that was robbed the day before.

Wichita media outlets report that around 3 a.m. Tuesday, the man walked into the store and pulled what the manager thought was a handgun and pointed it at him, saying “Freeze! Get on your knees!”

Lt. James Espinoza said when the suspect began laughing, the manager looked up and saw that the man was actually holding a Kit Kat candy bar. Espinoza said the suspect then left the store without taking anything.

Espinoza said the incident does not seem to be related to the robbery that took place the day before.
