Oh, come on! It’s a classic line and there’s never been a more fitting time to use it.

19 Action News has the low-down on Matias Martin, a Cleveland resident who caught the attention of Akron police following up on a robbery report Dec. 14:

When officers approached the man … they asked if he had anything illegal that could harm the officer. Martin said that he had a sawed off shotgun in his pants. Officers recovered a loaded, sawed off 12 gauge shotgun. Martin also had two additional shotgun shells in his pocket. He was immediately taken into custody.

Officers did not connect Martin with the robbery they were investigating, but they likely saved him from robbing himself of his, ahem, balls.

  1. Yes, because that’s right where I want to put something that can blow body parts off…..right next to the family jewels.

    This guy’s a real smart one. Good thing the cops disarmed him before he pulled a Plaxico and blasted off his balls.
