Former ‘American Idol’ Winner Scotty McCreery Robbed At Gunpoint
What is this? Another story about someone from American Idol? Have we jumped in a time machine and went back to 2005? Former American Idol winner Scotty McCreery obviously forgot to lock his doors.
The 20-year-old singer/college student and his friends were robbed at gunpoint in an apartment just one mile away from North Carolina State University. A spokesman for the Raleigh Police told reporters that police were called to the scene shortly before two in the morning Monday.
When police arrived, the people inside the apartment told them they had been robbed by three suspects armed with guns. They took their cash, electronic items and wallets.
[more…]This news worried McCreery fans all over the world, so he hit up his Facebook page to let everyone know he’s okay.
“Yes, it was definitely a very scary night. Luckily, my friends and I are safe and the Raleigh PD is on the case. I will share more when the time is right, but as of now we do not want to do or say anything that could hinder the investigation. Thanks to everyone for the prayers and support.”
What a relief! It’s a good thing the robbers obviously had no idea who Scotty was. If they had, this probably would have turned into some hostage situation.
Sometimes being ‘almost famous’ has its advantages. We are glad your safe, Scotty. You keep rocking that deep voice.
