Police: Man Wore 'Scream' Mask in Miss. Robberies

MERIDIAN, Miss. (AP) - Police have arrested an Indianapolis man in connection with two convenience store robberies in Mississippi where the thief wore a mask like the one used by the villain in the 1990s slasher flick "Scream."

Meridian police charged 33-year-old Jerry Jones with two counts of armed robbery.

Jones is suspected of robbing the two stores roughly four hours apart early Friday, The Meridian Star reported Monday.

Both times, authorities say, he was wearing a mask like the one worn by the villain in the film, "Scream," which starred Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Drew Barrymore and David Arquette.

No one was injured in either incident.
