Police in Roseburg, Oregon, say a man who robbed a restaurant was armed with a can of bug spray.

Sgt Aaron Dunbar says the robber entered Elmer's Restaurant late Monday wearing a green hooded sweatshirt, gloves and a beanie atop a shoulder-length blond wig that was pulled partly across his face.

A bartender tried to bat away the can of insect repellent when the robber brandished it, but the employee got a direct spray to the face.

The Roseburg News-Review reports the robber grabbed money from a cash box behind the bar and fled. The amount of the take wasn't disclosed.

This is stupid! How can something we use everyday in summer be harmful enough to use it as a weapon to rob a restaurant. Who ever the man is is obviously stupid enough to think that bug spray is a lethal weapon!
