Yeah, great job! The store was robbed again. And what a coincidence! Exactly one year later. But this time no one is putting it out there. There was one paragraph on wboc.com, and mysteriously no one else has even bothered to report that there was another armed robbery at Duck In. See for yourself. Check WBOC's website. Armed robbery, inside job. Is it being kept quiet because the state's attorney is up for re-election in a few weeks or because maybe, just maybe, the wrong man was convicted. It wouldn't be the first time.
