Chase turns sour for lemonade stand robber
1 hour, 54 minutes ago

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - Call it a lemonade standoff. A girl whose lemonade stand was robbed of $17.50 chased the suspect into a nearby home and called police, who spent nearly an hour trying to coax the man into surrendering.

"The guy came up and was, like, 'Give me your money,'" said 12-year-old Dominique Morefield, who was running the lemonade stand with a group of friends. "I was shocked. It was just my immediate reaction to chase after him."

Dominique dashed after the man who ran into a house, and then she called police. Officers eventually persuaded Steve Tryon, 18, to come outside after 45 minutes and arrested him on a preliminary felony charge of robbery.

Tryon made an initial appearance in Superior Court on Tuesday and was ordered to be held in the Vigo County Jail on $50,000 bond. He will be formally charged Friday, county Prosecutor Terry Modesitt said.

You must be pretty desperate to rob a lemonade stand. You get nearly no money. And stupid too.

I keep wondering if the guy was emotionally disturbed, developmentally disabled or in some other way mentally impaired. Which is not a put down. It is a major factor in deciding to go the punishment route or the treatment route.
