Redneck Crime

According to an article in the Dallas Morning News (8/8), a 33-year-old woman known as the “Tattoo Bandit” was arrested last week in Euless, Texas. She wasn’t thinking straight, she said, when she committed robbery after robbery throughout Tarrant County to support her cocaine/heroin habit. Surveillance footage showed her face and the cross tattoo on her wrist during several of her 12 holdups; thus, the nickname. “When you go in somewhere with a gun in your hand, you’re pretty desperate. I wasn’t really going to hurt anyone,” she told reporters, adding that her gun wasn’t loaded. That could not be immediately confirmed.

I can’t imagine why those mean ol’ police officers didn’t cut this poor woman a break. After all, how much damage can one redneck gal do with an unloaded gun? Contributions to her defense fund may be made to your nearest corner dealer, who I”m sure will forward the cash. –Tex
