BANK ROBBER WRITES NOTE ON BACK OF REHAB DISCHARGE PAPERS

Police say a Philadelphia man signed himself out of the Malvern Institute rehab center, took a cab to a nearby bank and robbed it using a note scribbled on his discharge papers. Twenty-five-year-old Jamal Goodwin was arrested Tuesday and charged with robbery, theft and other offenses stemming from Monday’s holdup. Police say Goodwin took just over $5,000 in cash before fleeing in a cab. Unfortunately for Goodwin, police say he left behind a gym bag containing $2,700 worth of the stolen money in the cab along with his wallet and driver’s license.
* I wonder how much cash was in the gym bag BEFORE the cab driver looked inside.
* Good advertising for the Malvern Institute rehab center, no?
* “Malvern Institute: We Inspire Confidence.”
* Wait, this is the kind of stuff you do BEFORE you go to rehab.
* It’s almost as if being hooked on drugs can destroy your brain.
* Let’s be fair: For at least 10 minutes after he was released, he was a model citizen.
* He took a cab, huh? I wonder how the new driverless cars would handle a situation like this?
* On the one hand, you wouldn’t have a human driver as a witness, but it’d be hard to tell the car to go faster in a police chase.
* So other than the rehab discharge notice, his wallet, and his driver’s license, police didn’t have a whole lot to go on.
* He was with robbery AND theft? That’s just mean.
