Looted $1 Just Wanted To Get In Jail
USA, North Carolina, an old man willing to have a chance to treat a disease. Unexpectedly, he went to a bank looted $1 and waiting the cop came to arrest him and sent him into jail. Today, he finally get to meet with a doctor within the week.
Richard James Verone, 59, with a bad back, a growth on his chest, and no job or money decided to swap his freedom for prison health care by robbing a bank. He walked into a bank, handed the teller a note demanding just $1, then sat down on a sofa and waited for the police to arrive.
He hopes to get a 3-year sentence and buy a beach house after he gets out and qualifies for social security. "If it is called manipulation, then out of necessity, because I need medical care, then I guess I am manipulating the courts to get medical care," he said. But because he only demanded a dollar and didn't have a weapon, police charged him with larceny instead of bank robbery and he's likely to be a free man within a year.
