Man robs bank to avoid wife, says 'he'd rather be in jail than at home'

A Kansas man robbed a bank last week in order to go to jail and avoid his wife, court documents showed.

Lawrence John Ripple, 70, told his wife following a fight on Friday that "he'd rather be in jail than at home."

After writing a note stating that he had a gun and wanted money, Ripple walked to a bank in Kansas City, Kan., and handed it to the teller.

The teller gave him nearly $3,000. Instead of making a hasty getaway from the Brotherhood Bank and Trust branch, Ripple took a seat in the lobby and admitted to a security guard that he was the suspect. He was taken into custody.

The money was returned to the bank. The cause of Ripple's fight with his wife was not detailed in the court documents and no lawyer was listed for him.

I can sympathize with this poor man.  I'm seriously thinking about committing 3 violations tonight just to get a vacation away from tweedle dee and tweedle dum.

It was a win-win situation for him. Either he was going to have a lot of money to spend on a really good time, or he was going to get away from his wife.

That's my theory as to why folks up north cut holes in ice to fish!!

Ya may have a point there. I've never pulled a crappy from an ice hole and had it say "don't forgetagain to take the trash out".

Indeed.   Thus far the catfish have remained mute with me as well.  I don't know why really.  It would seem that some sort of deity of one ilk or the other would consider river cats as a perfect vehicle for messages from beyond.   It may just be that I am not taken too seriously in the ethereal realm on high.  Perhaps they discovered that at one time I was high on an ethereal realm.   It is a mystery.   Just as Ice Fishing is to me.   And robbing banks to get rid of your partner.

Its only a crime if a citizen robs a bank.

If banks rob citizens, they get TARP funded bonuses.

Minor legal point.
