A mysterious man brandished a knife and used the weapon to make off with an undisclosed amount of cash from a convenience store, according to police in Lincoln, NE.
He also made headlines around the world for his disguise: a roll of two-ply toilet paper wrapped around his head.
Although the bathroom tissue trail went cold after the April 24 robbery, police now say Joshua Nelson is their man.
Nelson, 29, was arrested Saturday evening and charged with robbery and use of a weapon to commit a felony.
It's worth watching the video of Officer Katie Flood discuss the case just to hear the laughter in the room when she talks about the "beer box bandit": a criminal who used a beer box on his head as a mask.
