Man learns casino losses not deductible
CHICAGO, Nov. 18 (UPI) -- Chicago police said they arrested a man who had only $2 to show for a string of four apparently unarmed robberies.
Police Lt. John Franklin said a 37-year-old man was arrested Tuesday night in the city's Rogers Park neighborhood after four people in the area reported a man in a bright orange coat had attempted to rob them, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Wednesday.
Franklin said the robberies gained the man a total $2, which was recovered at the time of his arrest. He said all of the victims positively identified the suspect and none of them reported seeing a weapon during the incidents.
The suspect was taken to a hospital for observation after swallowing a large amount of drugs while in custody, Franklin said.
