According to NBC 6 in Miami, 62-year-old William Carroll held a woman up at knifepoint while she was picking up her dog’s poop outside her apartment complex. He took a backpack that had her wallet and credit cards in it, NBC 6 reported.

He would have gotten away with too, if it weren’t for that meddling dog…poop.
