POLICE SAY A PENNSYLVANIA MAN IN A HOSPITAL GOWN STOLE $50 FROM HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND AT WAL-MART, THEN TRIED TO FLEE ON A STORE-OWNED MOTORIZED SHOPPING SCOOTER.

Thirty-two-year-old Craig David Jr., of Smithfield, was charged with robbery and disorderly conduct.

State police Cpl. Chuck Frey says David had just been released from a hospital for injuries in a domestic dispute Jan. 1. Frey says David had been hit with a frying pan and table leg.

David was still in a hospital gown that night when he met an ex-girlfriend who agreed to pay for his prescription medication. Instead, police say he grabbed $50 from her and scooted away.

David remained jailed the following day. He does not have an attorney.
