EULESS, Texas (AP) - A suspect in a store hold-up was caught after leaving his wallet on the store counter, and then going to the police station to pick it up.

Joseph Fahnbulleh, 22, was jailed on a robbery charge, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Thursday. A few days after the Jan. 29 robbery, he walked into the police station in Euless, near Dallas, to pick up his wallet after a detective called to tell him someone had found it.

"Once we had the wallet, we called him to say it had been turned in to our lost and found," Euless police Det. Marco Valladares said. "We don't really have one."

The store clerk said the man took about $200 US from the cash drawer after attacking him with pepper spray.
