Philadelphia rock salt robbery prankster facing jail
- 9 years ago
The Philadelphia man who robbed another man of a bag of rock as part of a social media prank is facing jail after police failed to see the funny side of it.
Daron Stinson, 21, likes to do crazy stuff which he films and then posts on his Instagram account.
Last week, Stinson and a buddy stopped alongside a 52-year-old man on Diamond Street near Sedgely and pointed a gun at the man, threatening to shoot him if he did not hand over a bag of rock salt.
Then he posted the short to his Instagram account to share with his friends.
Only the Philadelphia police department didn't see the funny side of the clip, with one officer saying Stinson and his pals could have "caused someone to have a heart attack."
Stinson turned himself into police after the clip was featured on local news and despite the fact that the weapon he used turned out to be a pellet gun he has subsequently been charged with aggravated assault, conspiracy, making terroristic threats, possession of an instrument of a crime, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person.
Stinson was arraigned and his bail was set at $250,000. He is scheduled to appear in court on March 6th.
