From Ethan Fry, CT Post:
A Bridgeport man will be sentenced to serve five years in prison after pleading guilty to robbing a victim of a vehicle and valuables last year using a roll of toilet paper disguised as a gun.
Cecil Rogers, 37, pleaded guilty before Judge Shari A. Murphy Tuesday to first-degree robbery and first-degree larceny in connection with the incident, which occurred in the early morning hours of July 1, 2024, on Stratford Avenue.
Supervisory Assistant State’s Attorney Michael DeJoseph said Rogers emerged from the bathroom of an establishment clad in a ski mask and concealing the toilet paper roll while intimating he had a gun.
He then took credit cards, jewelry, and the victim’s 2024 Chevrolet Trax SUV, valued at more than $20,000, the prosecutor said.

Lennie, this has to be a bullshit CT Post story or AI at best. If this is true, then they better make sure that Mr. Roger’s doesn’t get his hands on any Toilet Paper while in prison for obvious reasons. Excuse me I gotta go take a shit.
Why dump your doubt on us, Joel? Perhaps your BS detector is broken? How would you know, by the way? Where do you go for a trusted source when you look for local facts and truth? Robbery victim may have responded to “toilet paper disguised as a gun” with disbelief, confusion, or plain safety in mind but he survived and is alive, knowing that his ‘human life value’ is worth more than what a desperate robber was seeking.
JG, why do you see this as a contrived narrative? Is it because you have few options to test for truth? Or is it because you like stories for their entertainment value to you, with no sense of how the narrative of law-breaking affected another neighbor or resident? Time will tell.
Hey blowhard, did you call the FBI, Homeland Security, Secret Service, CIA or whom ever? We buried all the Canons just in case. Rumors around Black Rock says you actually stained your pants when you read my post of the bombing of Black Rock. We missed your house and hit Jimfox’s driveway instead. Sorry about that Jim. Keep talking shit, next time, I won’t miss.
