American Man Arrested for Robbing Store in Busan

I wonder what the mental health of this guy is current is because this wasn’t a very well thought out robbery:

An American who has lived in South Korea for 20 years was arrested for robbing a lottery shop in Busan, police said Thursday.

According to Haeundae Police Station, the U.S. citizen, 63, entered the shop near Haeundae beach masked on Wednesday night, assaulted its manager and got away with bundles of cash (510,000 won, or $451).

The manager followed him shouting for help. The American was caught after police shot him with a stun gun. 

He reportedly told police he had committed the crime “for money.” According to police, the American entered the country in 1988 and taught English until 2011. He is jobless.

I hope he enjoys his time in the foreigner prison over in Cheonan.

Well then. There goes that idea. 🙄

Jobless senior citizen robbing a place of only $450 bucks sounds like he didn’t have money for a return ticket to the US and was hoping to be deported…

Ha! I took one look at the picture and I realized I know that guy.

He really should have stayed in Minecraft.

So that’s what Tbone is up to these days.

A 63 yr old homeless American was also caught trying to heist the money can of a fried chicken restaurant in Seoul open market while this particular chicken place was being filmed for TV. It aired just two nights ago — they showed him. They also said this guy was formerly an English teacher. Gotta be the same guy.

Well, moving can be traumatic… Especially if you have to rent a truck…
