A stupid man from New York is facing a $50,000 bail after trying to rob a store of 99 cents.

Around 3 a.m. Saturday morning, Christopher Tisley, went into the store with a gun and demanded 99 cents from the clerk working behind the counter.

The clerk didn't hand over the change and Tisley left the store.  He returned later after the clerk had locked the doors and pounded on the windows to let him back in.

A few minutes later the cops arrested Tisley a block away. He was holding 3 grams of methamphetamine but no longer had the gun. He was booked on aggravated assault and possession of a controlled substance.

He never got the 99 cents that he wanted so badly.
