Former inmate rejailed when picking up belongings
No "Stupid Criminal Tricks" thread here?ORLANDO, Florida -- Released from prison, Ronald A. Mahnerâs first mistake was driving back to get his stuff. No, that was his next-to-last mistake Mahner returned to the Seminole County Jail to reclaim his personal property four days after being released. He had served a sentence for drunken driving, auto theft and habitually driving with a suspended or revoked license. But when asked to provide identification, Mahner handed a sheriffâs deputy his license, which after routine computer check was found to have been revoked for life. oops Deputy Teri Cresswell couldnât prove Mahner was doing anything illegal without seeing him behind the wheel, so she told him to drive to the back parking lot. Mahner took the car around back, That was his last mistake parked in a fire lane weâll let that one slide and went inside to claim his clothing, shampoo, dart board and battery charger. Important stuff he really needed Ann Mallory, a manager in the Forensic Services Section, called in a computer check of the carâs tag and found it had been reported stolen the same day Mahner was released from jail. His second-to-last mistake Mahner was handcuffed and arrested Monday, just as he was about to drive away. Posted by: Glenn (not Reynolds) 2003-12-17 |
