I think this is called ‘doubling down’

Hey, remember this kid? Sure you do! He’s the Lehigh University sophomore who was arrested on Dec. 9 for robbing a bank.

Now that was a story. President of the Class of 2008, son of a minister, in a frat — everything except the last one … hmm, actually, no, wait. All of those things make it pretty obvious he’d be an ass. But would little 19-year-old Greg Hogan a bank robber? Gee, it doesn’t seem like it. According to police, though, he confessed.

And, as you’re all waiting, here comes the defense: he owes thousands of dollars to online casinos. Eh, that’s not going to work, is it?

Actually, I’m rooting for the kid. With slots coming to down, if his defense works, this city just got a lot more interesting. Oh, and dangerous.
