Albuquerque police say the suspect in an attempted robbery Friday morning turned up at the University of New Mexico Hospital without his thumb.
Stephen Tillet, 19, is suspected in the attempted robbery. He is at the UNM Hospital undergoing treatment for his thumb injury. When he is released, according to APD spokesperson Trish Ahrensfield, he will be charged with armed robbery, tampering with evidence and aggravated battery.
Police say the 61-year-old was leaving Discount Tools at Zuni and Valencia. As he approached his truck, police say the suspect approached the man with a handgun.
But, according to APD, the suspect messed up. His gun went off and the bullet hit his thumb.
Something grazed the 61-year-old.
The 61-year-old man drove himself to a hospital to be treated for his minor injury.
Had to be a Kerry voter.

Yep, the heart and core of the modern democrat party.
That would be the thumbnail
Caught "trying unsuccessfully to hitch-hike" from the scene of the crime?
Solved....case closed.
What I was thinking was he was a very lucky guy, eh?!
Good thing he didnt have a cell-phone..
Oh Darn!
He's still in the gene pool. Can you imagine explaining that injury to the Republican father of a girl he is trying to marry?
Well, sure, to a RINO. But those guys don't have kids do they? Least I hope not.
All thumbs !!! ;-)
He must have had his thumb on the barrel to keep the bullet from falling out!

The thief left with nubbing.
