Instead, he called again.<br /><br />"A phone call was made by the offender saying, 'I've been watching and I don't like what I see,'" Winder said. "He said 'can you meet me down (the road) instead.'"<br /><br />A plain clothes officer waited for the man at the second rendezvous but he again failed to appear.<br /><br />Police traced the calls and arrested a man Saturday, charging him with aggravated robbery and demanding money with menaces.<br /><br /><br /> What a friggin idiot
