According to the report, Seth Cunningham, 21, entered the 24-hour store on Pearl Road Monday and waved a 9mm handgun in the air. He stole a water pipe worth $447 before taking off.

No one was injured.

Brunswick police later located Cunningham in a driveway on Clemson Drive just after midnight. He admitted to the robbery and was taken to the Medina County Jail where he posted a $30,000 bond and was released. Cunningham is charged with aggravated robbery.

It's just tragic to see young men make such horrible, life-changing decisions. It appears he's from a solid background, so what could drive someone like that to rob a store at gunpoint? A drug habit?

It is very tragic. Crime rates seem to be going down in various categories and I hate to see one of our own cause it to go up.

Hard to say why someone commits a crime like this. Sociopaths come from all walks of life and family types. It could be anything from he is an idiot to maybe there is some mental illness there that causes him to act out. If he is an idiot, good riddance. If he has some sort of mental illness that causes this problem, we should feel sorry for him and hope he gets well.

If there are lawyers on the board, is the commission of a crime with gun in Ohio grounds for automatic jail time if found guilty?

A University of Akron football star...

Certainly shows the depth to which our football has sunk when Seth Cunningham is deemed a "star."

And - I'm assuming a "water pipe" is a bong? Or did he rob a Home Depot?

Guess the Tyler Campbell / Chris Jacquemain stories weren't much of a deterrent. Hope he doesn't meet the same fate in a couple years.

Could be a term for a flush toilet. Which he has sent himself down.

The news is filled with odd stories these days, and this one ranks right up there. It just makes no sense at all that a gun was needed to make a quick grab and run. For a scholarship student with no prior record to make such a poor decision on such a trivial item makes me think he must have been chemically impaired at the time. It will be interesting to see what details come out of this case. But it appears that there's no chance he returns to the team.

I don't know if anyone watches Vice on HBO, but last night they had a great story on heroine and everyone should watch it.

Story on Vice Episode

Once someone becomes a heroine addict, there is a 9 in 10 chance that person will never recover.

Im pretty sure the Odd Corner is still there.

It's different. The original was torn down. Google "The Odd Corner Akron" and you can images of the original being torn down. Brought a tear to my eyes.

Don't need a lawyer,he said sheepishly. Use a gun in commission of a felony you get 3 years 'wild' with whatever time you get for the underlying offense. BUT, if he has a REAL good atty. he might get it reduced. The pipe was less than 500.00 so he didn't cross the threshold. Nice teammate though.
