Father-Son Drill Team Foiled

NABBED: Cops pop nubile Nebraska nudie

DECEMBER 31--In a bizarre bail-bonding ritual, a Missouri man and his son were busted Monday after allegedly trying to stick up a Pizza Hut. The weapon of choice for George Stroble, 63, and his son Donald, 32? A cordless Black & Decker drill that Donald had tucked under his jacket, according to this probable cause statement filed by cops in Independence. Pizza Hut worker Willard Paxman told police that the younger Stroble announced, "I'm not playing. I've got a gun." Remarkably, Stroble did not add, "One false move and I'll drill you." The Strobles, seen below in police booking photos, are facing felony robbery charges and, if convicted, could face a maximum of 15 years in jail. (3 pages)
