Handcuffed, suspected bank robber eats alleged stick-up note

At around 19 seconds into this police car video, an alleged bank robber eats a piece of paper, which police say was a stick-up note. I think the guy is suppressing a grin.

  I am not sure I am a bad person for finding this seriously funny $%@!.

  I mean clearly that policeman made a mistake there.

  If this guy is a bank robber then likely not a very nice person.

  All the same, pretty damn funny.

    I’m with you DarthVain , seriously funny and hope he gets away with it (as long as he didnt harm anyone in the heist), I saw the clip 4 times and still cant stop laughing!

• [NidSquid]

  Well, that guy is quite a … smooooooooth criminal.

  Thanks BB, that video made me laugh so hard.

  I can haz a post-it?

  I know what the Ohio police academy will be adding to the “preserving evidence” section of their training program.

• [Boondocker]

  The best part is around 38 seconds, where it looks like the cops clue in to the missing note. Seriously funny stuff.

  Police officers have a whole arsenal of charges they could slap on someone who makes their job harder. The perp will probably get charged with Obstructing Justice.

  This reminds me of today’s police blotter from the Denton Record Chronicle in Denton, TX:

  Highlight:
  ” When a police officer was processing the second man, the officer searched his wallet and reported finding two fraudulent $20 bills and two fraudulent $5 bills, all missing the embedded security strips and holographic logos.

  When the police officer turned around to make a copy of the man’s jail intake information, the 25-year-old suspect grabbed the bills and stuffed them into his mouth, according to the police report.

  The officer yelled at him to spit out the bills and get on the ground, the report stated, although the man kept chewing, tensing up his body.

  The officer pointed a Taser at the man and said if he didn’t get on the ground, he’d be hit with the weapon, according to the report.

  The suspect got on the ground, but not before swallowing the evidence. “

  As soon as I read the title I thought of my 8th grade math class. One day my friend Colin, who is openly gay, drew a picture of him and our male teacher having anal sex. While passing it to our friend Nora, the teacher caught this and told him to bring him the note. Obviously, Colin was not willing to do this; so he put it in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed.

  True story, I swear.

    NaptimeIs2oClock is the only case where I’m confident that the person in question was better off for eating the evidence.

  Classic! I hope he’s acquitted. It’s increasingly clear that bank robbers are doing Ghu’s work.

• [mechko]

  The note said “Hand over the money, I have a gub”. The robber was caught because he was dragged into a dispute over the meaning of the word “gub”.

  I’ve never tried to eat a Post-It note, but I wouldn’t think it’s particularly good to eat. I bet that next time round he’ll write his notes on something easier to swallow, like rice paper.

  “We’re just getting the money now, sir – but while we wait, could you tell me why you’ve chosen to engrave your hold-up note on a slab of organic dark chocolate?”
