Robbery Leads To Talk Show Host Mashup

A bumbling bank robber in (where else) Bucks County was sentenced yesterday to four to eight years in state prison. Here’s how the crime took place:

1. The man, Jason Maxwell, bummed a ride from a man at a Philadelphia gas station, offering him $100 if he would drive him to Bensalem to cash a check.
2. They got lost and pulled up to a PNC.
3. Maxwell went inside the bank, handed them a note saying “Give me all your money or you die,” and got $1,900.
4. He then went outside, pumped his fists in the air and waved his money around.
5. In the car, he bragged to the driver about robbing the bank while the driver slyly recorded his boasts on his cell phone.
6. After dropping him off, the driver went to the police and showed them the tape. He also gave them a stack of papers Maxwell left in his car, including his pay stub.
7. Officers went to Maxwell’s house, where Maxwell’s mom said her son was just there bragging about how he had robbed a bank.
8. Maxwell was arrested after spending the money on “booze and drugs.”

But, hey, it’s not all bad, right? From the Courier article:

“Obviously, this guy had a wish to get on Jay Leno’s list of the 10 worst criminals,” said Chief Deputy District Attorney Gary Gambardella.

Great! He can get on that list! If it existed!

Or, maybe it does, on the Jay Letterman show.
