The High-Fiber Legal Diet: Video Shows Robbery Suspect Eating Bank Note

This video belongs in the Hall of Criminal Fame. John H. Ford, 35, was arrested on suspicion of bank robbery. The police grabbed what they thought was the bank robbery note, but put it next to Ford’s mouth on the police cruiser as they cuffed him. He proceeded to eat it.

The Twinburg, Ohio police say that Ford robbed the First Merit Bank branch by passing a note to a teller that threatened to shoot her. The loss of the note was significant but they have the bank video and the bank employee got the license number on his Escort. They also found a loaded .38 revolver, along with an undisclosed amount of cash in a bag in his car. A dye pack had also gone off in the money.

In the end, Ford’s taste for the law may not satisfy a court given the other evidence. However, back in the cell blocks, he will be nothing short of a prison legend.
