Oregon Man Robs Bank To Get Medical Care

A homeless man in Oregon robbed a bank last Friday just so he could get arrested and get medical treatment. The man, 50, entered a Bank of America and handed over a note which demanded the teller give him $1. The staff, didn't know what to do exactly, but finally gave him the dollar. Once he had it in his hands, he sat down and waited for the police to arrive and take him to jail.

Police charged him with second degree robbery and third degree theft and told police while they were questioning him that he needed medical care and would only be able to get it in jail. Since Friday when this happened, the robbery charge was dismissed, only leaving the theft charge which will probably also be dismissed or reduced. The guy better get his medical stuff taken care of soon because they are going to put him back on the streets. The man has no previous criminal record.
