And finally… Bonnie and Clyde

Mr Christopher Castillo was found guilty of armed robbery and three counts of assault and battery on a police officer this week. The offences were all committed on their first date in December 2016.

The woman picked up Mr Castillo from his parents’ house in Rhode Island and embarked on a thirty-minute drive towards North Attleboro in Massachusets. On their drive, he told the woman to pull over beside a bank, where he then got out and left her alone for several minutes.

The woman said he came running back to the car, sweating with sunglasses, a hat, a gun and $1,000 cash in hand and told her to drive, CNN reports.

The woman later told police officers that she panicked and did as she was told.

Mr Castillo was sentenced to three years in a state prison for the robbery with an additional two years in the Bristol County House of Corrections for violently struggling against and spitting on police who tried to subdue him.
