Great Job! Excellent coordination. Now if they can just get the mini car back.
The mini car will probably be the get away vehicle for the next home invasion.
Robbin Hood. God forbid he has some McDonalds money right?
Such a deal. Bank robbery and only a $50,000 bail. I can’t believe there is even bail. No wonder the new Eureks ‘crime map’ is covered in colored dots.
I can’t understand why bail was so low and why did he even get bail
Why did he dress as side show Bob?
At least he robbed a bank! Not a friggin gas station! Remember what Wiley Sutton said when they asked him why he robbed banks. “ Cuz that’s where the money is! “
What happened to his hair ?
Cultural misappropriation.
Funny. And kinda true.
Hairstyles by Electroshock???!!!
Five years and out. Then mayor of Arcata. He’d fit right in.
Clever disguise.
Quick apprehension EPD!!
No white guy ever looks good in dreds, Mugsy.
Whoa, that is one crazy-looking dreadlock-dude… Nice work LEO’s!
This is what happens when cannibis is legal. 🤣😂
isaac is good man with mental health issues. he is nor an addict. he is caring and kind and would never hurt anyone. his problem is he is like a 10 year old trapped in an adults body. he is easily tricked and lead astray because of his iq. his family loves and misses him. and i am truly sorry to hear this sad sad news.
Thank you for this sobering reality check, koastdog.
Was about to post another typical attempt at a comedic reply when I read yours. Now I am appropriately shamed.
Truly nothing funny about this story, at all. Best wishes to Isaac and his family, and here’s hoping those “influences” are investigated & prosecuted as if they themselves committed the robbery.
NOTHING ok about manipulating people with mental health issues. EVER.
So why is a 10yo man allowed to roam freely? Because the actual 10 yo kids aren’t even in school around here
Agree. WAr hole
[edit] anybody who seals from other people is not a good person.
I believe the banks robbed absolutely everybody during 2001-2008.
Then the government said we need to save them from failing….with more of our money.
Yep.
Except for this clarification:
the banks robbed absolutely everybody during 1397 – 2018.
Thank you, with all my heart koastdog i agree with you 100% and that has also been my experience and observation about Issac. He is a sweet person having a hard time and im ashamed at all the non caring judgemental ignorance i see on this page written about someone none of them know. Sending prayers to him and his family.
Funny, you could say the same thing for robbing a bank, during business hours, with innocent bystanders around. Feel sorry for the people who had to go through the traumatic experience, not knowing if the robber was going to assault or rob them.
People need to be held accountable for their actions at some point.
White dreds 😂 , and I thought hippies where peaceful and loving , and didn’t steal ?? He must have got fired from the hill off the trim scene , and got desperate. Hopeful hcso will make him shower
this guy walked into RMI one day dressed in middle eastern attire and with a horrible accent ask for 10 mm ammo. I could tell he wasn’t anything other than a white guy with nothing better to do than mess with rednecks. the look on the faces of the staff was rather interesting. everyone in there except me was dialing 911.
50k bail for bank robbery. Huh, maybe i’ll go rob a bank.
