Man Holds Up Bank For $1 In Attempt To Get Medical Treatment In Prison
21 Jun 2011
Richard James Verone, 59, unemployed, who apparently has a chest growth,
two ruptured disks and a problem with his left foot, tried to rob a bank
of $1 so he could be treated free as a prisoner. Verone, of North
Carolina, USA, walked into an RBC Bank branch and handed over a note to
a female worker demanding one dollar.
In the note he had written that he was armed.
Verone said he is hoping for a three-year sentence, the time he
estimates his medical needs will take.
After handing over the note he is said to have sat down on a chair.
The bank teller dialed 911 and said on the phone "He's sitting on the
sofa as you walk in the front door."
The police were called and arrested him; he had no weapon.
In a telephone interview from prison in Gaston County, North Carolina,
Verone said that he is a logical person, and holding up a bank for one
dollar was the only logic he could come up with.
Verone added:
"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."
As he was unarmed he will not be jailed for armed robbery. Larceny,
which means theft, would probably only result in a one-year jail term.

I thought he had Obamacare? LOL. Where is all that debt spending going
anyway? LMAO.
USA needs a real good president to fix Omama-mess.
You're a flaming asshole. There's just no other appropriate way to
describe you. The fellow in question was a long-time employee of
Coca-Cola who lost his job and couldn't replace it with another that
provided reasonable health care.
Your attitude is why mooks like you will, in the end, lose.
