Good Old Traditional Family Values

Bank Robber Preferred Jail To Marriage

from The Derrick:


Lancaster, PA -- A central Pennsylvania man ways he robbed a back in 2007 to go to jail and get away from his overbearing wife.

At a sentencing hearing, 39-year-old Anthony Miller said he robbed a bank in Ephrata because he wanted to leave his then-wife but she had threatened to commit suicide if he did.



Defense attorney Robert Beyer said Miller approached tellers with a BB gun, asked for money and told them to call the police. He said Miller even asked for updates on their efforts to reach authorities.

Miller pleaded guilty. Lancaster County Judge Louis Farina sentenced him to three to six years in prison.
