An Illinois father has apparently seen the movie Raising Arizona one too many times. After robbing a couple at gunpoint in their home,
21-year-old Jeffrey Humphrey made
off with $108, but never had a chance to use it.
Three hours after the burglary, police
found Humphrey at his home, less than half a mile from the scene of the crime, with
a $100 bill in his pocket. On second thought, maybe he needs to bone up on his
heist movies….
Humphrey admitted to the robbery and told detectives that he
needed the money to pay for diapers for his infant. According to the Southtown
Star, “The $108 stolen would pay for about 350 diapers, enough to last about
five weeks for the average newborn.” That’s assuming, of course, that he wasn’t
planning to buy cloth, which would have given him much more bang for his embezzled
buck.
For five weeks of diapers that he never even bought,
Humphrey could be locked up for as long as 30 years.
