Man Wielding Fork Attempts Gas Station Robbery

Police reported a bizarre gas station robbery in Westmoreland County Tuesday night.

According to police, Gino Conti, 31, walked into the Shell gas station on Route 30 in Hempfield Township and asked for a box of cigarettes.

When the clerk turned around, police said Conti pulled out a fork and demanded money.

Police said there was no money in the cash register, so Conti grabbed the cigarettes and left.

Police caught up with Conti a short time later. He faces several charges including robbery and simple assault.

No one was hurt when Conti pulled the fork out.
