Man allegedly robbed of his lotion, beaten
A man selling body lotion door-to-door flagged down a police officer Friday and said a man beat him up and stole the lotion, Athens-Clarke police said.
The man told the officer he was trying to sell the lotion to a woman in an apartment in the Athens Garden complex. Another man known as "Hamp" then attacked him and stole the goods, the man told police.
The unidentified victim, who police said is homeless, had a scraped knee and cheek, police said.
The officer went to the apartment to check for witnesses, and when he returned, the victim was gone, police said.
The lotion was valued at $5 and "smells good," according to police.
Published in the Athens Banner-Herald on 112507I think what I like best is that it smells good "according to police" and not to the victim. Ha. This story seems so not worth writing about in the paper to begin with, but I'm glad it was.
