Authorities in Washington state said a man facing theft and assault charges told deputies he did not need the tweezers he allegedly tried to steal. Sheriff’s deputies said Troy Montgomery walked into a pharmacy Friday and placed a pair of the store’s tweezers in his pocket. Montgomery threw the tweezers and tried to leave when a store employee confronted him and said she was calling police. Deputies said Montgomery shoved a pharmacist, who was blocking the door, causing the man to fall to the ground and incur a 3-inch cut to his arm. Deputies said the suspect was detained by customers until they arrived. Montgomery was asked whether he wanted to answer questions about the incident. “Not really,” Montgomery told deputies. “Besides being stupid, I don’t even need the thing, about the dumbest thing I ever did.” He was arrested and charged with third-degree theft and third-degree assault.
