Relapse
A bank robber in Malvern, Pa., got $5,110 in cash and escaped in a cab. Things went downhill from there: he left a gym bag with more than $2,700 in the taxi — along with his driver’s license and the sweatshirt he wore during the robbery. And he wrote his demand note on the back of the discharge papers from a drug-and-alcohol rehab center, which also noted his name. Police quickly tracked down and arrested Jamal Goodwin, 25, for robbery. (RC/Philadelphia Inquirer) ...Just a guess, but perhaps he didn’t quite complete his rehab.Original Publication Date: 08 January 2017
