Man Begs For Jail, Judge Offers To Dismiss Charges

Interesting how he thought that if he was going to jail he did not have to pay. Well, let's see if he can find a way to do it.

QUOTE
HOLLIDAYBURG, Pa. -  A central Pennsylvania man begged a judge to send him to jail, only to have the judge tell him to borrow money to repay a convenience store $214 for gasoline the man allegedly stole in six separate trips.

Forty-two-year-old Jerome Banks, of Tyrone, wanted Blair County Judge Hiram Carpenter to jail him Tuesday. Banks says he's due to receive disability payments in about a year, but for now claims he's broke and can't repay the Sheetz store in Tyrone for gas he stole last June and July.

Carpenter refused to accept Banks guilty plea and send him to jail. The judge told Banks he'd still owe the money after he got out of jail, so he might as well pay it off sooner - at which time Carpenter says he'll dismiss the charges....

I think that is a wise judge. Make the guy pay off his debt. I like to see justice done at times.
