This West Virginia Casino Story Puts Ocean's 11 to Shame
Out on the weekend.

This may be my favorite crime of all time. A guy goes into a West Virginia casino to gamble. For some reason, he decides to get up. As is customary, he puts down a $25 chip to hold his seat and the dealer obliges him. (Good dealer! Tip this dealer handsomely!)
He then gets in his car, drives 12 miles, and robs a freaking bank! Does he then take it on the arches? Oh, hell no.
He takes his newfound loot back to the casino, sits back down at the table, and starts to gamble with the money he just stole. (His seat, of course, was waiting for him because that dealer runs a damn good table.)

Take a bow, Kerry Johnson. From WSAZ TV in Charleston, West Virginia.
During his arraignment, prosecutors said the suspect said in an interview that he had a gambling problem.
Well, that's certainly one of them.
