Florida Police Seek Smooth Criminal
By thom·August 25, 2026
Florida police are looking for a gas-station robber who may have taken “Smooth Criminal” a little too literally.
The guy allegedly walked into a convenience store wearing one white glove, a tan sun hat, a medical mask, a light green shirt, and black pants. So: part Michael Jackson, part retired golfer, part guy who absolutely does not want to be recognized at CVS.
Police say he distracted the clerk with some kind of ruse, (A 45-degree “anti-gravity lean” perhaps?) then pulled a gun and demanded cash. He made off with around $670 before moonwalking—or, more likely, sprinting—out of there.
They haven’t caught him yet, but if somebody comes in wearing one glove and asking if you “remember the time,” maybe keep an eye on the register.
