Masked Man In An Elvis Wig Robs Winery


The king of rock and roll may no longer be among the living, but his spirit lives on in music and hearts alike. As romantic as that sounds, though, it’s all too easy to take that image and defame it — or otherwise have it associated with some unsavory acts. Case in point: a masked robber decided to do his deed while wearing an Elvis Presley wig.

There’s no guarantee that the robber wanted people to think of the king, but that still doesn’t change the nature of his crime. According to reports, he raided the tasting room of a winery in Grover Beach, California; with pistol in tow he bound two employees with duct tape, forced them into the bathroom, and made off with roughly four hundred dollars. Thus far, he has yet to be caught — though he was last seen walking south on Highway 1.

If the robber is caught, then it’ll likely be thanks to his appearance. Not only did he have on an Elvis wig, but he also wore a mask that made him look like an old man — with glasses on top, and a pair of latex gloves to round out the ensemble. It’s also possible, if not probable, that the robber ditched the costume as soon as he could; in this case, it would make him much harder to pick out. Whatever the case, one can only hope his crime isn’t enough to sully the king’s name.
