I m gumby dammit12/23/2023 One person who might find all the notoriety a bit strange is the 7-Eleven clerk who was the victim of the alleged robbery attempt. Meanwhile, the Gumby caper has attracted worldwide attention, Hassen said, drawing media inquiries from as far away as Australia and Japan and showing up on "The Colbert Report" and "The Late Show with David Letterman." Hassan said among high-profile cases, it's one of the top three in his time in law enforcement. Hassen said the case has been turned over to the district attorney, who'll decide what course a possible prosecution could take. We'll sit down and have a polite conversation," Hassen said police told the suspect. "You and Gumby need to come in Tuesday morning. Tips came in through Crimestoppers, he said, and the cops soon had their TV character. "We got the video out and we figured that somebody would recognize his accomplice," Hassan told CNN. Hassen said it was the human face of Giramma, rather than the widely recognized green mug of Gumby, that provided the big break in the case. Also surrendering to police Tuesday was Jason Giramma, 19, who was not dressed as an orange horse, but who police allege was an accomplice in the 7-Eleven stickup. San Diego Police Detective Gary Hassen said Wednesday that Jacob Kiss, 19, turned himself and a Gumby costume in to police on Tuesday. After trying to pick the coins up - unsuccessfully (hint, hands like mittens) - Gumby leaves, joining an accomplice who'd left the store earlier and was honking the horn of a waiting minivan. Then he reaches into his pockets, presumably for a weapon, but only drops change on the floor. He pounds on the counter and demands money from the clerk. Surveillance video from the convenience store shows the human-sized figure, dressed as the beloved Claymation character, entering the store with his arms raised. Police say this Gumby suit was turned in on Tuesday.
