San
Diego police said the man accused of attempting to rob a store while
dressed as Gumby has turned himself in. Jacob Kiss, 19, accused of
donning the Gumby costume and trying to rob a 7-Eleven store, turned
himself in Tuesday along with alleged accomplice Jason Giramma, 19.
Giramma was contacted by detectives last week and told he and Kiss would
have to turn themselves in. Police said Kiss brought along the Gumby
costume, which was confiscated by police. The men were released after
being interviewed and the case has been sent to the District Attorney’s
Office to determine possible charges. Police said the robbery attempt
was unsuccessful because the clerk at first did not take the costumed
man seriously and Kiss was unable to reach into his pockets for a gun he
claimed to have due to the bulk of the Gumby suit.
