A Quiet Sunday Afternoon In My Neighborhood

Doggone it, because I was over at DMTC, I missed this:

A Sacramento man who donned a cape and allegedly robbed an adult store with a wooden sword is facing criminal charges in court today.

David William Hadeen, 36, entered L'amour Shoppe at 2531 Broadway about 4 p.m. Sunday and went straight to an area of the store that features sexual-enhancing devices, said Sacramento police Officer Konrad Von Schoech.

Hadeen was wearing an American flag sequin hat, green shirt, blue jeans, tennis shoes and red cape.

"He was carrying a 2- to 3-foot wood sword," Von Schoech said.

Hadeen allegedly took one of the enhancing devices, worth about $200, and waved the sword at a clerk "as if to ward him off," he said.

"The clerk didn't approach him," Von Schoech said.

Hadeen walked out of the store. The clerk saw the direction Hadeen left in and called police.

"Officers checked the area for the suspect and observed a man matching the description," Von Schoech said.

They stopped Hadeen at Broadway and 28th Street. Hadeen was still wearing the cape and hat. The sword was lying on the ground, along with the apparatus, which appeared to have been opened, he said.

Hadeen was arrested on suspicion of robbery and a misdemeanor arrest warrant for vandalism.
