Joey Vento: I always feel like somebody's watching me
Strange, blatantly pro-Joey Vento fake news blurb from yesterday on CBS 3:
According to sources, police said [Geno's owner Joey] Vento may have been targeted by a gang of robbers who planned to steal some of his hard-earned money.
[...]
Vento says detectives warned him to take precautions after investigators uncovered an alleged plot to target employees and steal proceeds as they were being deposited.
"I really don't feel comfortable with driving or making a deposit worrying that somebody's going to come up and blow my head off," Vento said.
[...]
Vento, who has raised more than half a million dollars to help the families of murdered police officers, says he is more insulted than frightened to learn robbers were apparently targeting his business.
"If they did it and I got that gun out, you're dead � I will not sit around trying to wound you in the arm," Vento said.
"Hard-earned money"? The completely unrelated sentence about the dude supporting the families of slain officers? Does Vento share a publicist with Kim Jong-il?
The story goes on to reveal that the "alleged plot" stems from the arrest of two men who were brought in on seemingly unrelated offenses. Neither has been charged with anything related to Vento. Regardless, it's comforting to know that if the cheesesteak baron were to encounter these fake criminals who don't exist, he would shoot to kill.
