A Pennsylvania man who was convicted of robbing 10 gas stations, beer distributors and convenience stores in 2012 used the old “evil twin” excuse. 34-year-old Steven Felton claimed it wasn’t he who performed the robberies, but a nefarious doppelgänger. Clearly he’d been watching way too many daytime soaps.
Most of the robberies, which were caught on video, showed Felton’s face as he threatened clerks with a pellet gun, reports AP. He wore a mask during only one heist, which led authorities to theorize he lived near the scene of the crime. Felton was arrested in December 2012.
