Irish man flies to Boston; steals Cannoli at knife-point

Overheal

A man visiting Boston from Ireland celebrated his very recent arrival on our country's shores by holding up a bakery to get his hands on a cannoli. Cops say the man walked into the kitchen of the bakery around 3:30 a.m. Thursday morning, apparently led there by an intense craving for a cannoli, reports CBS Boston.
He picked up a knife and walked up to a worker, demanding she hand him the dessert. She complied and the man left — but he ignored the most important lesson we've learned from The Godfather. He took the cannoli, but he didn't leave the knife.
Police arrested him in short order, perhaps even in mid-bite, right outside the bakery. They couldn't find the knife, however.
The man had flown into Boston just a couple hours before for a two-week vacation. Taking in the local sights is one thing, but becoming a part of the local criminal system was probably not part of his plan. He had to give up his passport and was ordered to stay away from the bakery. No more cannolis for you, buddy.

Police say Robert McTernan, 25, of Newbridge, Ireland, walked into the kitchen at Bova’s Bakery around 3:30 a.m. Thursday morning and picked up a kitchen knife.
Police say he proceeded to walk up to a worker and demand a cannoli. The worker handed over the cannoli and McTernan left.

I can honestly say I've never had a Cannoli, but I am going to make a point to after hearing the lengths this man went to get one.

It was his Cannoli. He just didn't want to fill out the paper work.

retalivity

exactly

He's seen too many reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond.

Cee-Jay-Cee

He's from Newbridge so that explains it.

Fúckin idiot. American PDs don't mess around. Wont be told to stop acting the maggot and sent on his way like here.

Dangerous Man

A good cannoli is pretty damn tasty - but not worth acting like a ****ing drunken prick scum and getting arrested. Go home, you rat.

suicide_circus

I cannoli imagine he was drunk.

Stupid man. This will probably follow him for a good few years.

clappyhappy

That is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever read. If he just arrived there, for a 2 week holiday surely he had money, or else he was off his head. Guess who will never be going to the U.S. again? Silly muppet.

The poor woman, been held up at knife-point for just a dessert while doing her job. She must have thought, this guy is crazy, my life is over.

I feel sorry for him, if I was to choose a prison system to enter, the US would be way way down my list, but there is a victim here.

He should stuff his face with them because soon he wont be getting any desserts where he is going.

It will be the can-olliday for him.

Too true.:D

It is very well-known that the experience of eating a perfectly made cannoli can never be forgotten.

If police didn't catch him, he probably would have robbed more, he was on a roll after his currant attempt

A man's life is in jeopardy here, I think we should leave the puns in the pastry!
