    At least give him credit for using an environmentally conscientious get away vehicle.

    Did he pay the full bus fare though ?

      @lindsaym_7673 Maybe pulling the cash out of a bank bag gave him away?

    He failed to return to his half way house. - and instead went out and robbed two banks !!
    Sounds like this guy was having a hard time reconnecting with life outside of prison

    Stay tuned as he will be out again in a few months for another try !

      @ChrisM_18 Yup, this is frustrating. Not likely the system will deal with him kindly. Spoils it for others who use the half way house to get back into the community.
