Another case of someone going bananas is that of 17-year-old John Szwalla of North Carolina, who recently tried to rob a store using a banana as a weapon. Szwalla held the banana under his shirt and pointed it at the store’s employees in the hopes that it would look like a gun. The owner and a helpful customer grabbed Szwalla and pinned him to a chair until the police could make it to the scene. Before they got there though, the suspect was able to eat the evidence — all except for the peel. He was promptly thrown in jail and awaits charges for assault with a deadly fruit.
