…to rob a lemonade stand?

A Terre Haute man accused of snatching $17 out of the hands of a young lemonade stand operator on Monday faced a judge Tuesday on allegations of felony robbery.

Steve Tryon, 18, told police his friends put him up to taking the money from the 11-year-old girl, whose stand was at Deming and Center streets. The 11-year-old and a 12-year-old girl were selling lemonade there.

Tryon was arrested on allegations of robbery, a class-C felony, and false informing, a class-B misdemeanor.

Throw the book at him.
