Man robs bank to get medical care in jail
Tue Jun 21, 10:36 am ET
Earlier this month, Verone, a 59-year-old convenience store clerk, walked into a Gaston, N.C., bank and handed the cashier a note demanding $1 and medical attention. Then he waited calmly for police to show up.
He's now in jail and has an appointment with a doctor this week.
Because he only asked for $1, Verone was charged with larceny, not bank robbery. But he said that if his punishment isn't severe enough, he plans to tell the judge that he'll do it again. His $100,000 bond has been reduced to $2,000, but he says he doesn't plan to pay it.

Hey, Wait a Minute! Maybe our Healthcare System Isn't the Best In the World, After All!
File this under things that would never happen in Canada.
