To say that this plan was not thought all the way through is an understatement. Police say that Anthony D. Thomas, 33, stopped by Citgo, a store in which he is a regular customer, to fill out an employment application. After finishing he then proceeded to rob the store, the not so smart man used all his actual information on the application.

According to the Ocala Star Banner shortly after filling out a job application with his actual name, Ocala police say Anthony D. Thomas, 33, who was standing by a door in the gas station, pilfered money from a drawer and left.

A surveillance video shows the theft, which occurred while a store employee wasn't looking.

Thomas was arrested and faces charges of burglary, petit theft and resisting arrest with violence, according to the Ocala Police Department.

OPD received a call from the Citgo, 1517 SW College Road in Ocala, at 9:48 a.m.

A member of the agency's Special Deployment Unit and other officers got a description of the suspect. Thomas was a frequent visitor at the store, where he would buy cigarettes.



The suspect had been wearing a shirt during the burglary. Thomas had on jean shorts but no shirt or shoes when arrested.

"I did not go into no cash register to get no money," Thomas told a reporter after his arrest. "I didn't rob no store."
