If I had to come up with an equally just sting where the crime is attempted murder, it would go something like this:

Officer: “I’d love if you’d bring some chocolate ice cream to our date! By the way, I’m deathly allergic to chocolate.”

Rube Sting Target: “Allergic to chocolate? You’re joking, right?”

Officer: “What’s your cell number?”

...

Officer: “See you soon! Don’t forget to pick up that death by chocolate on the way!”
