However, he also wanted a bottle of Scotch, but the employee refused saying he was not over 21 and would need to see ID. The robber agreed, showed his ID, then left with his money. The employee then called the police, gave them the name and address of the robber and he was arrested soon after.

4.Bad escapee

In Washington DC a convict successfully broke out of jail. His girlfriend was due in court a couple of days later due to being on trial for robbery and he decided to go with her.

He lost his case.

9.Drunk robber
