A hapless would-be robber accidentally pepper sprayed himself while attempting to hold up a pharmacy.
Michael Kevin Meadows, 43, entered the Bypass Pharmacy in Beaver, West Virginia wearing full camouflage, a paintball mask, and wide-brimmed hat.
According to police he released pepper spray in an attempt to subdue employees who were working in the business at the time.
He then moved forward to the counter and into the cloud of pepper spray meaning he breathed it in.
 
Video footage from security cameras showed him being overcome by the spray at which point he had to turn and flee.
Meadows was seen staggering outside and was then driven away in a car, a 2005 GMC Denali, by an accomplice.
The driver of the car was later tracked down by police and told them all the details of the failed robbery.
He identified Meadows as the would-be robber in the attack on Tuesday, police said.
Meadows was then arrested and has been charged with attempted robbery.
He is in Southern Regional Jail and a judge set bail at $100,000.
 
A spokesman for the Bypass Pharmacy said the business was open and safe for customers.
