In a bold, if not shrewd, move, KeithBaxter was arrested by a sheriff’s deputy while fleeing the
scene of a gas station robbery on a moped with a ski mask over his helmet. I’ll let that sink in for a minute.
Let’s break that down: (1) He fled the
scene of a crime on a moped. (2) He was
wearing a ski mask while fleeing. (3)
The ski mask was over his helmet.
Baxter must have been really easy to
find. And, it’s September. He couldn’t use the excuse of it being cold
outside to justify the ski mask over the helmet, and couldn’t count on many
other people to have ski masks on while on a moped.
Baxter was at least apologetic when
arrested a short distance away. He told
the sheriff’s deputy that he apologized for robbing the victim but times were
hard and he needed the money. Maybe it
was a cry for help. Maybe he figured if he didn’t get away, he’d at least get
three meals a day in jail. If that’s the
case, it’s less funny than really, really sad. No word on whether drugs or
alcohol were involved. Forethought
surely wasn’t.
