Court documents say Lawrence John Ripple gave a note to a bank teller in Kansas City on Friday, demanding cash and warning he had a gun. Ripple took the money and went to sit in the lobby where he told a guard he was the “guy he was looking for.”
Officers arrived quickly. An FBI agent wrote in the affidavit that Ripple had earlier been arguing with his wife. He told investigators he wrote the note in front of his wife, telling her he would “rather be in jail than at home.”
Ripple was charged with bank robbery Tuesday.
Online court records don’t list an attorney for Ripple.
And how many yungerman would rather spend time in kollel than be with their wives.
He should be sentenced to house arrest.
She must be a real prize! Lock him up, give him 3 squares & medical care & the guy will have some peace.
Excuse me Lawrence but have you ever heard of divorce?
