Armed robber foiled by spoon

This is what a spoon looks like, for anyone in the world who was in doubt

A robber has been foiled by restaurant employees who were armed with a spoon.

The workers used their might - and the might of the spoon - to subdue Joey Geracy, 39, who has been charged with armed robbery. He is accused of entering Williams Supper Club in Muskego, Wisconsin through a kitchen door and grabbing a teenage girl who worked there. He then demanded money.

Police said Geraci wore a motorcycle helmet and claimed he had a weapon. But his plan collapsed when a chef hit him with a large serving spoon before putting him in a headlock.

After staff held him to the ground, police eventually shocked him with a Taser.
