SAN DIEGO - October 22, 2011
The Los Angeles Times reported Friday that
19-year-old Jacob Kiss and the man authorities say was his
accomplice, 20-year-old Jason Giramma, were charged in San Diego
Superior Court.
Police say the men entered the store early Sept. 5. The Times
says Kiss acknowledged wearing the Gumby suit. A clerk said the
Gumby character claimed to have a gun but in a television
interview, Kiss said the clerk misunderstood him.
Kiss and Giramma turned themselves in and the Gumby suit was
seized.
Arraignment for the pair is scheduled for Nov. 8. It is unclear
whether the case will be prosecuted as a crime or a prank.
