On December 7th, a man wearing a mask with an uncanny resemblance to underwear entered a Missouri Bratcher’s Fuel Station, pointed a rifle at the shopkeeper, and robbed the shop.
Unfortunately for him, the underwear mask was an ineffective disguise. Police identified him just days later as Shawn McCormick.
The Moberly Police department commended the Moberly community for their help after receiving insight on the suspect’s identity from the comments on their social media post.
However, not all of the comments on the commendation post were as helpful as they might have liked.
One user commented:
The panty bandet got nabed
It’s unclear if this is meant to be pronounced with an accent or if the user wasn’t privy to spellcheck.
Another asked:
So who’s undies was he wearing? That’s the important news everyone wants to hear!!!
Other users were not appreciative of the jokes:
So sad for all involved…Also sad that people find humor in this.
Despite the growing tension in the comments, the Moberly Police Department has yet to comment on the origin of the mask.
The good news is that the threat this mystery presented to the Moberly community has been taken care of. Thanks to the collaboration between the police department and the community, everyone can enjoy a safe holiday without this perversion of Captain Underpants lurking the streets.
