Deputies in York County, South Carolina, arrested a man on Tuesday who allegedly robbed a convenience store using nothing but a Nintendo “Duck Hunt” game pistol.

David Joseph Dalesandro, 25, of Sharon, South Carolina, was arrested by the York County Sheriff’s Office and charged with armed robbery with a deadly weapon, wearing a mask and petty larceny of less than $2,000.

The sheriff’s office said Dalesandro allegedly walked in to the Sharon Kwik Stop convenience store on York Street at about 5:45 p.m. on May 30 wearing a mask and a hooded sweatshirt.
