Voter arrested in Centerville

Saw this today and chuckled from Tribune reader's comments:
Centerville man arrested in connection with bank robbery. First the article:

"Police arrested a man they suspect of robbing a Centerville bank after a standoff at his home late Monday.
A man dressed in a camouflage jacket went into Chase Bank at 315 N. Marketplace Drive about 3:45 p.m. on Monday, told a teller he was a robber and demanded money, said Centerville police Lt. Paul Child. After receiving some cash, the man walked away and dropped a handgun he had not previously displayed. He recovered his gun and fled, Child said.
Later a beautician at a nearby Dollar Cuts reported that a man matching the robber's description was getting into a black truck. Police had earlier received reports of a reckless driver in a black truck and matched that license plate to a home near 1900 South and Spring Creek Drive.
SWAT teams tried to contact the man by phone and then by bullhorn, which prompted a 12-year-old boy to leave the house. He was taken into protective care, Child said. Teams then used tear gas and went into the house, where they arrested the child's father.
Child would not identify the man, pending charges."

If the same Centerville prosecutor handles this case, as the case with the ex-Wal-Mart employee who came into the Centerville store with a gun to kill his ex-manager, look out. This bank robber was probable out of jail in three hours on $150 cash bond and a misdemeanor charge.

Nah, he is not the same man. Last year this guy wanted to rob the bank but in doing his business at Centerville's Carl's Jr. he dropped his weapon there and blew the porcelain toto to pieces. Lt. Child and Centerville's finest arrived on site, failed to site the man for illegal discharge of a firearm in the men's room, (at one of Centerville's many upscale restaurants) and set the man free. Carl's held a wake subsequently for the broken John and the men's room was out of commission for a week.

Do you suppose this perpetrator was a voter? Did he vote early? He's in jail now so maybe he did not get to vote this year. Maybe he doesn't really care.
