A man dressed as Spongebob Squarepants, along with his partner in crime, held up a 7-11 convenience store at gunpoint near Orlando on Thursday.
Detectives said the cartoon character was a first.
"It's not unusual for criminals to disguise their identity," Osceola County Sheriff's spokesman Twis Lizasuain said. "It is unusual he would use that particular character."
Shots were fired, but no one was hurt.
The pair escaped with a drawer full of cash.

Found dead handcuffed to water bed; death likely accidental, coroner says
CLEVELAND — An exotic-animal owner who made headlines last summer when one of his bears mauled a woman to death has died after apparently choking on a sex toy, authorities said.
Sam Mazzola, 49, was found dead in his Columbia Station home on Sunday, face down on a water bed. He was bound to the bed with handcuffs, chains and padlocks, Lorain County Chief Deputy Coroner Dr. Frank Miller told the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Mazzola had a sex toy in his throat, which apparently obstructed his breathing, Miller said. He was also wearing a leather mask with the eyes and mouth zipped shut and a two-piece metal sphere covering his head, the coroner told The Morning Journal.
"He had done this by request according to the story we were given,” Miller told The Morning Journal. “There was an assistant, but that is under investigation.”
It appeared Mazzola died from an "accident during sexual role play," Miller told the Plain Dealer.
An autopsy determined the preliminary cause of death was asphyxia due to airway obstruction by foreign body. Suicide and homicide have been ruled out. "The manner of death is pending further investigation and will be released when the case is finalized,” the coroner’s office said in a press release.
Sheriff’s detective Mike Lopez told The Morning Journal that a teenage co-worker found Mazzola’s body.
He said someone else was at the home and helped Mazzola with the bondage but had left before he died.
“It was an unattended death,” Miller told the Journal.
No one has been charged in the death, which Lopez said was not suspicious.
Mazzola has been in the news in the past because of his ownership and exhibitions of wild animals, which he kept man on his property southwest of Cleveland.
In August, one of his black bears fatally mauled Brent Kandra , 24, of Elyria, after Kandra opened the bear’s enclosure for a routine feeding.
Kandra's death was ruled a workplace accident. The bear was euthanized.

EUGENE, Ore.—An Oregon woman says she was told to put a shirt over her bikini top while shopping at Wal-Mart or leave the store.
Sandy McMillin told The Register-Guard she was shopping at a Eugene Wal-Mart with her sister last weekend when a store employee confronted her and claimed she may be violating health regulations.
An attorney for the 51-year-old McMillin said the experience was embarrassing but he is more concerned about the way McMillin was treated because she is disabled from injuries suffered in motorcycle crashes.
A spokeswoman for the Arkansas-based retail giant said the employee was responding to customer complaints and McMillin was not asked to leave the store.
McMillin says she'll probably still shop at Wal-Mart -- but at a different store

SYRACUSE, N.Y.—Want fries with that ... doughnut?
A food booth in Syracuse will unveil the "Big Kahuna Donut Burger" at this year's New York State Fair.
For between $5 and $6, the adventurous eater will get a quarter-pound burger in between slices of a grilled, glazed doughnut. Toss on some cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and onion and you've got yourself a 1,500-calorie meal.
America's state fairs can be counted on to provide foods featuring offbeat ingredient combinations. Wisconsin has chocolate covered bacon on a stick, you can get fried beer in Texas, Massachusetts provides fried jelly beans and North Carolina has the "Koolickle," pickles soaked in Kool-Aid.
New York's fair opens Aug. 25.
JOHANNESBURG—A South African man awoke to find himself in a morgue fridge -- nearly a day after his family thought he had died, a health official said Monday.
Health department spokesman Sizwe Kupelo said the man awoke Sunday afternoon, 21 hours after his family called in an undertaker who sent him to the morgue after an asthma attack.
Morgue owner Ayanda Maqolo said he sent his driver to collect the body shortly after the family reported the death. Maqolo said he thought the man was around 80 years old.
"When he got there, the driver examined the body, checked his pulse, looked for a heartbeat, but there was nothing," Maqolo told the Associated Press.
But a day after staff put the body into a locked refrigerated compartment, morgue workers heard someone shouting for help. They thought it was a ghost, the morgue owner said.
"I couldn't believe it!" Maqolo said. "I was also scared. But they are my employees and I had to show them I wasn't scared, so I called the police."
After police arrived, the group entered the morgue together.
"I was glad they had their firearms, in case something wanted to fight with us," Maqolo said.
He said the man was pale when they pulled him out.
"He asked, 'How did I get here?'" Maqolo said.
The health department said the man was then taken to a nearby hospital for observation and later discharged by doctors who deemed him stable.
Kupelo, the health department spokesman, urged South Africans to call on health officials to confirm that their relatives are really dead.
The man's family was informed that he was alive during a family meeting convened to make funeral arrangements. They're very happy to have him home, Maqolo said.
But Maqolo said he is still trying to recover from the traumatic experience.
"I couldn't sleep last night, I had nightmares," he said. "But today I'm much better."

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa -- A Council Bluffs man faces several charges after witnesses told police he threw a cat from a seventh-floor apartment window with his pants down.
On Wednesday morning, officers were called to 455 W. Broadway for a report of someone tossing a cat from an apartment and exposing himself. According to the police report, officers found a gray cat, which later died, bleeding and barely breathing near the sidewalk.
Witnesses told police they saw a man expose himself from the seventh floor of an apartment building across the street. They told police he then threw the cat out the window.
Officers identified the apartment from which the witnesses said the cat was thrown and made contact with a man inside.
The 29-year-old man, identified as Gerardo Martinez, answered the door shirtless with his pants down, the police report said. Officers asked him to pull his pants up and asked him about the cat.
Martinez, who admitted to using meth, first denied having a cat, police said. Later, he changed his story and told police his boyfriend threw the cat from the window three hours prior, police said.
When police told Martinez that witnesses said the cat was thrown more recently, he said he attempted to have sex with the cat and then threw it out the window, along with a pornographic DVD, police said.
Police arrested Martinez and witnesses identified him as the man from the window.
Martinez -- who turned 30 on Thursday -- has been charged with animal torture, bestiality and indecent exposure, according to the Pottawattamie County attorney.
He's being held in the Pottawattamie County Jail and faces up to five years in jail if convicted.

Couple Gets 12 Yrs. Each For Python Strangling
SUMTER COUNTY, Fla. -- A Central Florida couple has been sentenced to 12 years in prison each for the death of the woman's toddler, who was strangled in her crib by a pet python.
A Sumter County judge sentenced 21-year-old mother Jaren Hare and her live-in boyfriend, 34-year-old Charles "Jason" Darnell, on Wednesday. They were both convicted last month of manslaughter, third-degree murder and child neglect. Both had previously rejected plea agreements for 10 years in prison.
"I will always miss her and feel pain from everything that happened," said Hare.
"I'm very sorry for what happened. There is no way that I would have caused any harm to any of my children," said Darnell.
Authorities say an 8-foot-6-inch albino Burmese python wrapped itself around 2-year-old Shianna Hare's head on July 1, 2009. Testimony revealed the snake had not been fed for a month before the attack.
"This wasn't the first time that snake, the instrument of death, got out of the enclosure," said prosecutor Pete Magrino.
Defense attorneys argued that the death was an accident, and there was no way to know that the tame pet would kill a child.
However, Judge William Hallman told the defendants that a snake is not a domestic animal, but a wild one.
"Comparison to keeping, I guess, an alligator," said Hallman.
After the sentencing, the defendant's family insisted the judge's ruling was too harsh.
"It's gonna be very hard for the family! He loved his children very much. It was a complete accident," said family member Lori Darnell.
One of the defense attorneys claimed the jury that came back with convictions in the case was influenced by the Casey Anthony trial.
"Nobody wants what they claim to be responsible for a child's death to walk free after Casey Anthony did," said defense attorney Rhiannon Arnold-Rogers.
This trial started one week after Casey was acquitted. Arnold-Rogers insisted that had a negative impact and said she plans to appeal the convictions.
