It is a testament to their….uh….unique culture I guess that blacks never cease to amaze me with their ability to live down to the stereotypes.
According to the Alliance Police Department, Jauan L. Mason, recently moved to Alliance from Akron, entered the bank around 9:20 a.m. and claimed he had a weapon. He demanded cash and fled on foot with approximately $400 in one-dollar bills…..
….Authorities say Mason had moved to Alliance just five days before the robbery. During his arrest, he reportedly asked police to deposit the stolen cash into his jail commissary account.
This is the first bank robbery in Alliance in 15 years. Police stated that all bank robberies in the city since 2000 have been solved.
Kudos to the bank teller that was clever enough to hand him a few strapped stacks of one dollar bills. It looks like a lot of money but really isn’t and most tellers keep straps of large bills in a separate drawer specifically to keep robbers from making off with a bunch of money.
In general robbing banks is a terrible idea, you aren’t going to get duffle bags full of hundred dollar bills as banks don’t have that much cash on hand. When I managed banks you could pretty fit all of the cash in the branch in a medium sized duffle bag and most of that was small bills. Not to mention, bank robbers almost always get caught. I don’t have the statistics but I would guess bank robbery has the highest arrest rate of any crime.
I am kind of in awe of this guy, the level of obliviousness this takes is amazing. Perhaps I just think that because when your IQ is mid double digits, asking to keep the money you stole makes plenty of sense.
(The children’s toys are kinda creepy and weird, I didn’t mention that in the prompt at all…)
Good thing for him breathing is an involuntary reflex.
