Dumb criminal of the day, maybe month

The above link is from Gastonia County, NC.

A 59 year old man robbed a bank, but his note asked that he be given only $1.
He took the dollar, sat down on a bench, and waited for the LEO's to arrest him.

His plan was to get arrested so that the State of NC would then have to treat him for a myriad of health problems.

Although he is currently broke, he's planning on buying a Myrtle Beach, SC condo when he gets out of the big house.

Is he a stupid criminal, or crazy like a fox?

I've always thought that committing a crime and intentionally being arrested was a good fallback plan for someone who was broke and needed medical care.

There are old stories by the likes of O. Henry about bums who would get arrested at the beginning of every winter so they would have three hots and a cot during the bad weather.

The problem is that the police can decide not to arrest, the prosecutor can decide not to prosecute, the grand jury can decide not to indict, the judge can dismiss the case, or the person could be sentenced to probation and a large fine.

If he thinks he's going to buy a beach condo on social security he may be a few tacos short of a combination plate.

At Logan airport in Boston today a man from Chicago was arrested after he allegedly told TSA personnel that he had guns and bombs in his checked baggage. When his baggage was inspected, no contraband was found.

He was charged with making a false bomb threat and disorderly conduct. It's not clear whether these were state or federal charges and whether he was confined or released.

In Deerfield Township, Ohio (middle of nowhere), June 23, some kids looked into their mother's car and saw a naked man asleep. The man woke up and stole two bathrobes that happened to be in the car.

Police later traced a series of incidents during the previous night. The man had been in an altercation at a bar. Later he somehow lost his clothes. A resident reported a naked man trying to get into his or her house. The man's wallet was found on the road. His car was found in a parking lot with an AR-15 inside.

Finally the police found him walking down the road in a red bathrobe with a blue bathrobe tied around his waist.

He was arrested for disorderly conduct, bonded out, and got his car and rifle back. He returned the borrowed bathrobes (which most likely will be donated to Goodwill—yeech).

I wonder if they were cute little frilly pastel bathrobes with ducks and chicks embroidered on them.

I hope someone gave him the phone number of AA.
