In an attempt to steal away $1,137 cash from the store's money, a worker at a fast-food restaurant asked her son to punch her in the face. Police arrested Tina Marie Brown, 41, and Brandon Lee Deere, 24, both of Fayetteville, Arkansas outside a KFC restaurant on Thursday for theft and filing a false police report.

According to AP reports, Brown filed a robbery report outside a KFC in Fayetteville at about midnight Thursday alleging that a robber punched her in the face while she was changing her car's tire and stole her purse. Police said that her purse contained the restaurant's bank deposit bag, which had $1,137 in cash and checks.

As the investigation was in progress, Brown's nervous son Deere drove up and authorities found the money and Brown's purse in his car upon searching. Brown later confessed that she asked her son to son punch her in the face to depict false robbery.
