Something tells me we’re not dealing with a master criminal here.

A 37-year-old guy named Nicholas Dupras tried to shoplift a bunch of food from a grocery store in Manchester, New Hampshire on Friday afternoon, but the staff caught him.  So he tried to PEPPER SPRAY them to get away.

But just as he was spraying it, some customers tackled him . . . and Nicholas only wound up spraying HIMSELF in the face.  He was arrested for robbery.
