Indie Actor Shot By Police During Fake Robbery!!!

Wow, that could have been the worst mistake ever. A few passersby saw what appeared to be a robbery in a Long Island convenience store. So naturally, they called the police and when officers arrived on they scene they found a man pointing a gun at someone behind the counter. One small problem: He was an actor and the whole thing was fake. But cops didn’t notice the small video camera recording the scene, so they charged in to save the day. Nassau County Police spokesman Vincent Garcia explained to the Daily News:

“The first officer arrives, looks in the window and he sees a gentleman with a gun pointed at the counter. So he enters the store and confronts the individual, and says, ‘Police, drop the gun.’ The individual puts his hands up in the air and says, ‘It’s a movie! It’s a movie!… The officer used great restraint in not firing his weapon. Even when the officers were in the store they did not see the camera.”

No arrests were made in the fake robbery. Fred Carpenter‘s film, Jesse, was supposed to include a scene shot at the Nassau County Police Headquarters. Not sure that will be happening anymore.
