By Associated Press
STATESVILLE, N.C. (AP) - Police have charged an 83-year-old greeter at a North Carolina Walmart with trying to rob the store over the weekend.
Police say George Plane Jr. of Mooresville was working Sunday night when he went to his car, donned a disguise and walked back inside the Statesville store with a gun.
Statesville Police Chief Tom Anderson says Plane put the gun to a fellow employee's head and demanded money from a cash register. Anderson says Plane fired a shot in the air after leaving with the money. Plane was arrested later Sunday.
He was being held Monday on multiple charges, including robbery with a dangerous weapon.
It could not be immediately determined Monday if he has a lawyer.
