Robert Krebs served more than 30 years for 1981 robbery in Florida
An 84-year-old man who spent most of his adult life behind bars for robbing banks was sentenced Tuesday to more than 21 years in prison for carrying out an armed heist at an Arizona credit union.
Authorities say Robert Krebs carried out the January 2018 holdup in Tucson about seven months after he was released from prison as he was struggling to adjust to life on the outside. His attorney said Krebs wanted to go back to prison.
Krebs, who was in a wheelchair and had difficulty hearing during his during sentencing, declined to answer a judge’s question about whether he accepted responsibility for his actions.

Hopefully he’ll get rehabilitated during this stint and will emerge 21 years from now a productive citizen at last.
And I’ll bet the medical care is way better too.
He better punch somebody out in prison if it gets near his parole date.... :-)
“Going in Style”. Ed Norton, Gracie’s husband, and Hyman Roth plan a heist.
A lot of guys think that way.
He can now get the surgery he always wanted to become a Trans Female like his idol Bruce Jenner.
“bet the medical is way better too.”
“He can now get the surgery he always wanted to become a Trans Female like his idol Bruce Jenner.”
Well, it would be something interesting to do while he’s in, anyway.
I wonder if Dave Ramsey or Suze Ormond know about THIS particular ‘Retirement Strategy?’
Just joshin’! Loves me some Dave Ramsey! Retired at 56, debt free and I didn’t even have to rob a bank to do it! Though, ‘with my particular skill set’ I COULD have. ;)
Long term care program.
He’s got the choice of functioning in a world outside that is hostile and frightening, functioning in a jail system that is hostile and frightening but he understands how it works and has a reasonable chance, or suicide. He chose Door #2.
Exactly.
“He can now get the surgery he always wanted to become a Trans Female like his idol Bruce Jenner”.
That’s a idiotic thing to say.
He’s 84 years old. You must not have read the story.
Bless Your Heart.
Think he might want to learn to be a rapper?
His prison name will be ‘Wheels’.
Bless your heart, too.
Yep. Once he grows up, he’ll be able to make a living on the outside.
Not quite on the same scale but when I was a probation officer I had probationers who would deliberately violate their conditions of probation and ask to be sent back to jail.
They hated following the Man’s orders for 5 years on probation so they just did the 2 or 3 years in jail and walked out with no conditions on them.
