Bad Joke Leads To Arrests

Manchester, Connecticut - One of two young women wearing blue body suits and rubber masks told police that she and her friend were only joking when they ordered a package store clerk to open the cash drawer. The pair - Arlena Clark (Pictured), 23, and Megan Callahan, 21 - entered M and J Wines and Liquors. A man who had seen them go in thought their all-blue clothing and character masks from the movie “Saw” were very suspicious and called police. The liquor store clerk told police that one of the women said, “This is a stick-up,” and ordered him to open the cash drawer. The clerk yelled at the two and told them to remove their masks or leave, police said. They took off the masks and the clerk identified Clark, a customer he knew, “who told him it was just a joke,” the police report said.  More
