Former Deputy Robbed Own Armored Car
It was a foolproof plan: Steal $429,531.49 from the armored car you’re driving, file a police report claiming you were taken hostage at gun point outside Office Max, forced to drive to Owl Creek elementary where you were then robbed. Then, after you’re taken downtown to give a statement, throw the officers a curve ball by drastically changing your story, telling them that your house was broken into two weeks ago and a note was left instructing you to take the truck to the school and deliver the money to two men in a white taurus. Then, once everything has died down, just live it up, man. Live. It. Up.
It was the perfect plan, but something went awry…
Well, for former Washington County Sherriff’s Deputy, Brandon Lee Whitehouse, everything was going smoothly… until he confessed that the whole shebang was all part of his master plan and that the money(actually, most of it was in the form of checks and receipts. ‘Cause, you know, that’s as good as cash, right?) was stashed in a spot that no one would ever find without his help; under his truck in some garbage bags.
Whitehouse is now being held in the Washington County Jail and is charged with theft of property and filing a false police report.

“…he is being segregated from the rest of the jail’s population for his own safety.”
Goddam right! He used to work in detention. I bet there’s a line waiting to stomp his ass.
If only we could get a thread about Anne Pressly. Now there’s a real mystery, gang. Get in the van and let’s go look for clues.

What a moron. Did he actually think he would get away with it? How cocky is this dbag? This should probably knock some sense into him, though.
