Posted September 22, 200816 yr NEW YORK, - An ex-con allegedly tried to rob two people in New York, police said, but didn't notice his intended victims were police officers -- in uniform. Police said 65-year-old Adam Albright who was visiting from the midwest allegedly was so intent on robbing someone Saturday that he pulled a fake handgun on the two armed police officers as they walked through Riverside Park, The New York Daily News said. "It was stupid criminal tricks," a police source said. "The guy didn't even look to see who was coming." After Albright allegedly pulled his fake gun, the two officers drew their real weapons and Washington surrendered after a short but tense standoff.
