Elderly ex-con robs Illinois bank because he missed jail
- 10 years ago
Elderly ex-con Walter Unbehaun deliberately got caught robbing an Illinois bank in an attempt to go back to prison, according to a Chicago Sun-Times report citing federal prosecutors.
Unbehaun spent most of his adult life in prison and apparently loved it there. So much so, in fact, that upon his release, the cane-toting septuagenarian intentionally stuck up a BMO Harris Bank branch in Niles, near Chicago, this past February.
The 73-year-old allegedly told the teller during the stickup: "This is a hold up. I have nothing to lose. Give me the money in the drawer," according to an NBC New York report citing a federal criminal complaint.
Unbehaun next proceeded to show the teller a handgun holstered in the waistband of his pants.
"I only have six months to live and have nothing to lose. I don't want to hurt you," Unbehaun continued, according to the complaint.
He was no doubt ecstatic when FBI agents and police came to arrest him a day after the robbery outside a North Chicago motel.
Unbehaun told FBI agents he "wanted to go back to the only life he knew — prison life," according to the NBC report.
