10 years in jail for Zapper robbery
Two young men were convicted to 10 years in jail for committing armed robbery using…a Wii Zapper.
It all happened back in May, when Arthur Swain, an 18 year old boy, walked in an Ameristop Food Mart around closing time, approached the counter and pulled out a gun, that was later identified as being a NES Zapper. The guy only managed to take $100 from the cash register so you can’t really say it’s worth the hard time.
