Two Men Try To Rob A Police Retirement Party, Does Not End Well

Source-  Joseph McInnis III, 21, and 22-year-old Tyree McCoy robbed a Maryland bar filled with dozens of off-duty officers there for a cop retirement party, WBAL-TV reported.

The armed crooks entered the take-out portion of Monaghan’s Pub in Woodlawn on Tuesday night and held up an employee at gunpoint before running off with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said, according to the news outlet.

“At that time, the person who had been behind the counter knew that there was a retirement party for a police officer happening, so they went into the other portion and alerted the officers to the fact that they had just been involved in an armed robbery,” Baltimore County Police Officer Jennifer Peach said.

Off-duty officers at the shindig quickly ran out and took the men into custody.

They were charged with armed robbery and possession of a handgun and were being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center, according to the report.

“I’m sure that they weren’t planning on there being a large room filled with police officers,” Peach said.

So close, yet so far. They even made it to the parking lot before the beating took place. Tyree’s face looks like a purple grape. Guy’s left eye is what I imagine Smitty’s testicle looked like after the infamous softball incident. Joe, on the other hand doesn’t look too bad, just emotional scars for him. Which take a little longer to heal but he’ll get over it. I’m assuming this is the first and last time these two attempt a robbery. Crime isn’t for everyone, no better way to learn that lesson than by robbing a police retirement party. I hope it was unintentional but I wouldn’t put it past them to do it on purpose. Historically speaking, criminals tend to be- how do I put this? – stupid. It could have been a “hiding in plain sight” type deal.

This has to be a retired cop’s wet dream. All boozed up with your buddies reliving the glory days and you get the call. It probably added to the beating, knowing it was their last one. It also probably saved their lives. Who knows how loose they would’ve got if they had their guns. I wouldn’t even give these two jail time, just let them out. They’ve learned their lesson.
