Eeyore, Friend or Felon? by Rachel Jastrebski

On Monday February 2nd, 2009 Eeyore, a favorite character on "Winnie the Pooh," was arrested for armed robbery. The robbery occurred at noon the day before he got arrested at the Bank of America in Dover, DE. The suspect supposedly carried a 44 caliber gun. Four security cameras and twelve witnesses witnessed the crime. One of which was a clerk who worked at the Bank of America. "He was calm at first, then he starts freaking out and pulls out a gun!" Says the clerk, who asks to remain nameless. Eeyore has no known motive but network executives say that they told him they were replacing him just hours before the robbery. Eeyore was heartbroken, and stormed out of the studio. Police aren't sure, but they think this is the cause for his outbreak. If he is convicted, he faces at least 15 years in jail. Ten for the robbery and five for illegal weapon possession. There is no word yet on if the show will stay on the air.(And by the way... APRIL FOOL'S!!!!)
