Former High School Star Athlete Sentenced to Prison for Armored Car Robbery
. . . Klutz Who Was Always Picked Last in Gym Lands Job Writing FBI Press Releases. Well, I'm just guessing.
Now the subhead:
Defendant Used Ad on Craigslist and Flotation Device to Make Escape
This isn't quite what it sounds like. He didn't post an ad saying GETAWAY DRIVER NEEDED @ BANK OF AMERICA and give the time and date.
He posted an ad for landscapers, telling them to show up in their work clothes. Being a landscaper himself, he put on a similar outfit and pretended to be spraying weeds around the bank grounds. He went on to spray an armored car driver with mace, grab some money, and disappear in the crowd of landscapers. (It seems he got the idea from a movie.)
And yes, he tubed away.
The rest of the story is sadly predictable. Alcoholism, spending, cheating on his pregnant wife with a teenager. Vegas with "friends".
Six years.
