But the raid descended into farce when Wade threw a punch at Morris over his lack of effort in helping with the robbery.
Morris — who was high on pills — dodged the blow, but crashed into shelves at the store in Carlisle on October 4.

But the woman — who was left shaken — gave detectives his name.
The pair, from the city, admitted robbery.
