NEW CASTLE, Del. - It could be the world's worst first date.

New Castle County police say that after two men robbed the woman, one of them called the victim on his cell phone to apologize -- and to ask her out on a date.

The victim, 18, declined the request. Instead, she gave the cell phone number to police, who arrested Brent Brown, 25, on Thursday. Through a photo lineup, the victim also identified Brown as one of the robbers.

Besides Brown, police also arrested an 18-year-old man and were looking for a 16-year-old linked to the crime.

Officers searched a residence and found the pizza boxes in the trash can with the original receipt still attached.

"It would make a perfect story for the television show, 'The World's Dumbest Criminals,"' said county police spokesman Cpl. Trinidad Navarro.

Brown was charged with second-degree robbery.

"I'm innocent," he said. "I work every day. I have no reason to rob the pizza lady."
