I can say for sure that isn't Melvin. Too thin.
Round up the usual suspect.
It’s 60 degrees outside, but hold my beer while I put on my big ass jacket.
Hurry up and get them do Dumb Ass Green can give them a blessing

Sounds more like attempted robbery more than attempted burglary.
I have no idea why he's robbing this place. He's so obviously rich, as evidenced by his jacket with the prominent Polo logo.
Whenever I see a person plastered in designer logos, I assume they must be rich.

UPDATE: A tip received via Crime Stoppers has identified the suspect as DeAngelo Dent.
This rocket surgeon probably thought it was a "cell phone sales" store. Oh well, a product of JPS, so he should get a blessing.
wrong color hoodie, what is the world coming too?
He looks like a dumb ass.
These cell phone repair shops barely can keep afloat (their business opened).I know the Blue Phone Store on Old Fannin closed down for business than they reopened. One robbery would proberably close then down again.
Tommie will let this one go for sure.
I don't know about Old Fannin, but this store does a great business. I always have to wait in line when I bring in something. Courteous, professional, always delivered on time and a fair price. That's how you beat the provider in-store repair services.
7:59 He probably stole that jacket too! Somewhere, someone is missing that jacket!
I actually feel sorry for the guy. Too dumb to know he was being videotaped, despite every store in town having a camera behind the counter. His heart clearly wasn't in pulling off a robbery. He chickened out and, fortunately, he had no violent intentions to begin with if he didn't use a weapon. Not defending his conduct, which is criminal, but this is the kind of guy who will get worse quickly in jail as opposed to possibly being helped by house arrest/ankle bracelet for a few months and some counseling, if he is a first offender. I'll wait for the onslaught of those who disagree!:)
@11:44 AM, not to worry as judge let-'em-loose will answer your prayers. Hopefully, this nice well-meaning gentleman can live with you, because he likely doesn't know his father, so you can be a proxy-dad.
Good job!
