A thief made a mistake stripping him of all his power, leaving his gun in front of his victim as he spent the money being stolen in a bag without notice that he left his gun on the desk.

The robbery occurred at the County Inn and Suites Hotel in Paducah, Kentucky, on Monday, and the thief was a 26-year-old Phelps, the Daily Mail reported.
