Really sad IMO. "Man robs bank for $1 so he could be arrested and sent to jail for free medical..."

An old story I just noticed but still;

Man robs bank for $1 so he could be arrested and sent to jail for free medical health care.

He moved into the Hampton Inn for the last couple of days. Then on June 9 he followed his typical morning routine of getting ready for the day.

He took a cab down New Hope Road and picked a bank at random — RBC Bank.

Verone didn’t want to scare anyone. He executed the robbery the most passive way he knew how.

He handed the teller a note demanding one dollar, and medical attention.
