Duct Tape Bandit
Posted by paulstallard on July 22, 2008
Most people in our office use Google alerts to monitor the media for stories about competitors or topics of interest that our clients should be aware of or could comment upon and I am no different. One of my many Google alerts is set up to search for stories on Tape – data centre tape – for one of my clients Imation.
However, every morning I also receive stories with no relevance including the word tape. Usually about the latest celebrity sex tape which is being sold on the internet but recently I saw one story which made me laugh out loud.
25 year old Kasey G. Kazee is looking at 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to robbing an eastern Kentucky liquor store. Kazee, it would appear has become notorious in the US as the ‘Duct Tape Bandit’. This simpleton wrapped his own head in duct tape to conceal his identity during the robbery but unfortunately he was met by the Store manager Bill Steele who also had some duct tape — wrapped around a club, which he used as a weapon to repel the intruder. Finally another employee chased down Kazee and held him until the police arrived who…wait for it….pulled off the tape (along with most of his hair and face I would imagine!). A quick search on You tube found some of the even funnier news reports about this idiot.
