Bipolar Made Me Do It: Rob the pizza man

img_9525_sgpizzazen_4.jpg

A teenager from Greenwich, Conn., participated in three robberies in the last two years. One of them was committed with seven other teens; they used a BB gun to hold up a delivery driver. Walter Jones was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after the arrest, which always makes me suspicious. But his attorney says he's a changed person now that he's on meds.

Comments

His sentence was also reduced for overtly silly comments. When the police showed up he yelled "Extra cheese it, the cops!"
