Tough times have got people doing strange things. One Kentucky man has resorted to a pretty deperate measure to get "affordable housing":
It was Wednesday morning when a man walked into a Stock Yards Bank on Mud Lane in far southern Jefferson County.
He allegedly handed a teller a note demanding cash and indicating he was armed with a gun.
"The teller complied with the suspect’s demand and the suspect had a seat and indicated he was going to wait for police," Mueller said. "He wouldn’t take the money."
Mueller said when officers arrived, 38-year-old Edward Taylor Sutherland III raised his hands and surrendered. It turns out he did not have a gun, either.
"He indicated he was tired of living with his parents, that he did not have a job, did not have a vehicle and wanted to go back to prison," Mueller said.
Sutherland’s mother, who didn’t want to appear on camera, said her son hadn’t worked for months. Sutherland, who has spent time behind bars in the past, told investigators he decided to rob a bank so he would avoid state prison and instead go to federal prison, where conditions are better.
I wonder how common this is?

Hmmmm…it sounds like the recession needs to hit the entire prison system harder. If ex-cons aren’t absolutely terrified of returning to prison, that means that prisons are too nice.
Time to cut the cable TV and make those prisoners break rocks all day.
It happens. Hey, a free ride is a free ride.
“The teller complied with the suspect’s demand and the suspect had a seat and indicated he was going to wait for police,” Mueller said. “He wouldn’t take the money.”
I am pretty sure that this guy has an elaborate plan to break his brother out of prison. Check this man’s tattoos.
