Speaks for itself.
Police told KSHB that Lawrence John Ripple robbed a bank of $3,000 just so that he could go to jail. But instead of running away, the 70-year-old Kansas man sat in the lobby and told security that "he was the guy" they were looking for.
He told police he'd prefer to go to jail rather than home to his wife of 33 years after an argument. He even wrote the robbery note in front of her.
