Richard James Verone, 59, who was suffering from arthritis and a growth on his chest, couldn’t afford health care but knew prison would supply it.

So, unarmed, he allegedly walked into a bank in North Carolina, USA, and politely asked the cashier to hand over no more than a dollar (60p).

Verone then told the cashier he’d ”be sat over there”, and took a seat on a chair while he waited for police to turn up.

^ By the way, there was a free health clinic 5 blocks away from the bank he robbed.

people purposely committing crimes in an effort to be imprisoned happens pretty damned often.

[Dattebayo]

Most of the time being jailed is better than the life these people would have on the outside, so yeah.

There was a homeless guy in my hometown that used to commit petty crimes during the winter so he could have a warm place to sleep at night.

Reminds me of the Andy Griffith show. Where Otis (the town drunk) would walk into the police station, hammered, get the cell keys off the wall, lock himself in a cell, then re-hang the keys on the peg outside again.

Cops Issue Warning After Uptown Beatings
Star Tribune:

A group of violent robbers struck six Uptown pedestrians three nights in a row within a six-block area, beating people into concussions with fists, kicks and, in at least one case, a set of brass knuckles, while taking phones and wallets, Minneapolis police said.

Two attacks were so similar that police officers, paramedics and emergency room nurses all told victim Joshua Houser that they suspected he had been jumped by the same guys who sent people to the hospital just 48 hours earlier, Houser said.

"It was a robbery, but it was an assault, too," said Houser, who said he and his friend were punched repeatedly. He suffered a concussion. He said his friend, a woman who offered no resistance to the man who knocked her down, was hit several times even after she gave up her wallet.

The three attacks occurred between 11:30 p.m. and 1 a.m., one attack each night starting in the early hours of Sunday morning, in an area bound by Hennepin and Lyndale Avenues, W. 32nd Street to W. 25th Street.

Victims described the suspects as three or four men between the ages of 20 and 30, wearing black hooded sweatshirts and being either Hispanic or American Indian. One victim said he was struck by an African-American man, but thought the other attackers were Hispanic.

In two incidents, the suspects walked past people on the sidewalk, waiting until they were abreast or behind their targets before attacking.

Fifth Precinct police issued a crime alert Tuesday afternoon warning Uptown residents about the robberies. "This is an unusual trend for the precinct and especially for Uptown," the alert stated.

The first attack reported to police over the weekend was early Sunday, when Jay Ness, 25, and a friend were walking home from a party. They were in the 1200 block of 28th Street W. when four young men wearing black hooded sweatshirts passed them on the sidewalk.

"The next thing I knew I was getting bashed in the face with brass knuckles," Ness said. The attack lasted 30 seconds, he said. He told the attackers they could take whatever they wanted, but that didn't stop the beating, which included kicks to his head after he fell, he said. He was hospitalized for a concussion and cuts to his scalp and ear. Ness said his friend required surgery for damage to his face and eye socket.

About 24 hours later, two men walking in the 2500 block of Colfax Avenue S. were attacked and robbed at 12:03 a.m. Monday by at least two suspects. Those victims were unavailable for comment.

The next night, Houser and his friend were attacked in the 900 block of W. 32nd Street at 11:28 p.m. Monday. Houser said the men walked past him, even nodded hello, before the largest one turned and blindsided him with a punch to his temple.

"They were trying to knock me down," said Houser, who said he wrestled with two men while a third suspect knocked down his friend. Houser gave up his bookbag containing a computer, wallet and other items but the men continued to punch him in the face. The fight ended with one of the suspects lifting his shirt to show Houser a handgun tucked into his waistband.

"You want me to shoot you, bro?" he asked Houser, before running off. The three men drove away in a late model white minivan that was parked nearby.

The incidents follow a string of similar aggravated robberies dating back to February in the Dinkytown area near the University of Minnesota. In those cases police say they are looking for three suspects described as Hispanic males ages 18 to 25 who may be responsible for four attacks dating back to Feb. 20. In those cases, too, pedestrians were knocked down from behind or ordered to the ground before being robbed of mobile phones, wallets, and other belongings.

None of the Dinkytown victims required hospitalization. No weapons were used in those attacks, but the suspects were becoming increasingly brazen, police said.

The following pictures are of my buddy Josh, it is not the Josh from the news story. It took the police 30 minutes to arrive, another 15 for the ambulance to get there. Josh woke up in the ambulance, he told the police that his Iphone had been stolen by the thugs and they might be able to track the gps in it. They told him that it was up to him to get the information from at&t.






These guys have not been captured, although 2 of them have gunshot wounds. Its not clear in the article, but he did hit 2 of the suspects.

Two days after firing at two men suspected in a recent string of violent south Minneapolis robberies, Edward Curtis, 61, wanted people to know he wasn't proud of what he'd done.

But given the beating the men were giving him Tuesday night, he figured he had no choice but to use his handgun, he said.

"I had to do what I had to do," he recalled Thursday. "I thought they were going to kill me. They didn't get a chance to."

The attack on Curtis was the fourth in four nights in the Uptown and Whittier neighborhoods, and after a quiet Wednesday night, most people along Hennepin Avenue on Thursday were preaching a simple message: Be careful. Be aware.

The assaults, the first of which occurred early Sunday, happened suddenly -- even after people gave up their belongings, victims and witnesses say. Some ended up with concussions from being beaten.

Curtis, blindsided outside his Pillsbury Avenue apartment building, was left with a broken nose and fractured right eye socket, he said.

A senior prank could cost a high school kid a felony charge and up to eight years in prison.

This looks familiar... ridiculous. And you're right, Bex, how could anyone charge this guy with a felony for that. A friend of mine many years ago emailed a bomb threat into a school trying to get another kid in trouble. They could have charged him with a felony, but he got off with probation. He is now at UGA and about to become a lawyer. Maybe the same thing will happen with this kid.

Pretty much what I would do if I were homeless.

[carloslebaron]

I gonna make my double jeopardy movie, at the end the dude who stayed in jail for decades because a crime he didn't commit, will find the assumed victim alive and at this time he will shoot 6 bullets at him in front of everybody, including police...and he will be arrested and put in jail again...not for the murdering but because he did it with a stolen gun...

[nissangirl74]

This woman has been issued a misdemeanor, a monetary fine, and she could serve up to 93 days in jail..........if.......... she doesn't get rid of her vegetable garden.

The 31-year-old Handl said he had tried for months to set up a nuclear reactor at home and kept a blog about his experiments, describing how he created a small meltdown on his stove.

[Razi]

Only later did he realize it might not be legal and sent a question to Sweden's Radiation Authority, which answered by sending the police.

Silly guy!

He's not going to be able to mount any sort of defense -- as a matter of fact, he won't have a leg to stand on.
