Today I had the pleasure of seeing this in court. It's one of those “you have to see it to believe it†type things.
It wasn't anything spectacular, like a big fight or scuffle, but rather the crime a specific person committed. I almost fell off my chair laughing.
The 19 year old suspect, a waiter at a popular restaurant, stole two credit cards from customers he was serving earlier this year. After a few days, he used one of them to purchase alcohol at a local bar. Once the victim noticed the unauthorized charges, he notified us and the officer was able to track down as the suspect. He was arrested and after being questioned, admitted to stealing and using the credit card. He wrote a statement apologizing to the victim and the court for his poor decision and promised not to do it again.
The magistrate decided on a $2500 bond since it was his first case and he showed remorse. He posted bond and was released a few hours later.
So you ask, what's so funny? Well, remember that second credit card he stole when he was a waiter? Yeah, he used that one to post bond.
Today he plead guilty to both offenses and at 19 years old, has to look forward to being a felon for the rest of his life.
I felt the need to share this because it was simply to damn hilarious not to.
