A 70-year-old Kansas City man pleaded guilty to robbery in a Kansas court Monday, but he’s not afraid to go to jail. In fact, Lawrence John Ripple said the reason he robbed the bank in the first place was because he preferred to go to jail rather than go home to his wife, who was also in court.
Ripple is accused of robbing the Bank of Labor in Kansas City on September 2, 2016. After collecting cash at gunpoint from the teller, Ripple went into the lobby of the bank, sat down and waited for the police.
When officers arrived, Ripple apparently said he was the man they were looking for and admitted to robbing the bank after an argument with his wife.
Ripple faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.

At least he'll die a happy man.

His punishment should be served at home, with one of those ankle bracelets.

Strange, the effects of a woman on a man’s mind and what he will conceive as an avenue for inner peace.
If she dies while he’s in prison, I would make the case for commuting his sentence...

His punishment should be served at home..That might lead to 1st degree murder.

Wasn’t there a story about a man who went in to the hills to get away from his nasty wife, and ended up sleeping for twenty years? They should rename this guy Wink Van Ripple.

Damn. I just used to avoid my first wife by slamming down a few mugs at my local Legion post after work. It anesthetized me from her shrewish rantings when I walked in the door. That marriage sucked bigly.

Good news, Mr. Ripple. You get daily conjugal visits throughout your entire sentence!

Let's compare notes over a beer. We may have been married to the same ex.

This may be a dumb question and you don’t have to answer;How do an astute guy like you end up marrying Mrs Wrong?

He was trying to be the bad boy. The bad seed.
Next he was going to bootleg a movie with a camcorder.
