Two would be bank robbers, Albert Bailey, 27, and an unidentified minor, 16, called a People's United Bank in Fairfield, Connecticut on Tuesday and told them to get money ready, as they would be in soon to rob the bank.
The bank robbers showed up ten minutes later, as they told the bank workers, giving police enough time to be there when the not to bright suspects showed up and were taken into custody.
The not to bright robber, Albert Bailey.
This has to be one of the best crime stories, if that is what you want to call it, I have ever heard of. I always use to think that everyone could be a criminal, but this case proves me wrong. You have to have at least some intelligence to commit a crime. If the cops were not there yet, do you think the criminals would use the drive through bank window to rob the bank? That will make me wonder.
On a side note, this would be such a great prank to play on friends. All you would have to do is call the bank before like in this story, then tell a few of your friends that you need to pick up a new ATM card or there is a check waiting for you at the bank. Then your friends show up at the bank having no idea what you did and everyone will think they are robbers.
I am just joking, thats pretty mean and I would never to do that to anyone, except these two guys in this story.

An Orlando man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for trying to break into the Brevard County jail where he was an inmate for two years
The story began when the suspect, Sylvester Jiles, was involved in the shooting death of another man. Jiles claimed that he acted in self defense as he sat in jail for two years awaiting trial. Jiles was charged only with manslaughter, and not murder, because the prosecutors did not have enough evidence. He was then released from jail after time served, which outraged the family of the dead man.
Two days later, Jiles came back to the same Brevard County jail demanding to be let back in, and when he was denied, he attemped to break into the jail by scaling the 12 foot fence where he fell and encountered three layers of barbed wire, cutting himself so bad that he almost died.
What an idiot. If you really want to stay in jail, just say you killed the guy, not that it was done in self defense, and enjoy your life in jail. If your life is really in danger from the family of the dead man after you are released, then call the police on them or hide or move away. Or better yet, maybe you should have thought about your actions before you shot a man to death. You have to live with the consequences of your actions.
If you really have to go to jail, which you don't, then surely there has to be other ways to get back into jail without physically breaking back in by jumping a 12 foot fence and three layers of razor sharp wire. Maybe go shoot someone else since you seem like you are better at that than breaking into places.
I just can't wait for the story of him trying to break out of jail.
Seems like someone really needed a drink. A 20 year old originally wanted for armed robbery was arrested after trying to flee the scene of a traffic stop in Vandergrift, outside of Pittsburgh. The suspect, Elbert Lewis Thompson II, was then hospitalized after he complained that he was not feeling well, had shortness of breath, and was going in and out of consciousness.
It was here that Thompson, while still in police custody, simply walked out of Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, and into nearby JR's Bar, with his hospital gown still on and even with his intravenous needle in his arm. The bar owner then called the police, and he was taken into custody, again.
Is it just me or are these cops just plain stupid for two reasons. First, how many times do you think the police encounter a suspect who claims that he does not feel well. With dealing with these types of people every single day, wouldn't you think that they should know that people who are arrested will try to do anything they can not to go to jail. And this brings me into the second reason. If a suspect claims to not feel well, and he is taken to a hospital, wouldn't you think that the police would watch him extra carefully until he is securely behind bars? Seems to me, that in this case, the Pittsburgh police are a bunch of idiots.
I applaud the suspect Thompson his escaping skills. Not only did he just walk out of a hospital while in police custody, he did it with a hospital gown on, with a intravenous needle still attached to his arm, and decided not to make a run for it, but go to a bar for a drink.
Just let him enjoy one drink, but keep the tab open because he will probably be back soon.
