WAYNESBURG - The woman accused of robbing First National Bank in Waynesburg and who appeared in a surveillance video to have no teeth told police after her arrest Tuesday she had robbed the bank to buy a set of dentures.

"During her confession, she stated she wanted to use the money to pay for dentures she was unable to get through welfare until next year," he said.

It's hard enough to get a job in Greene County; without teeth, you don't stand a chance. The woman did something stupid and desperate. Maybe she'll get dentures in jail.

1. At least in jail they have to provide for the inmates...

Nasty Alameda county jails notwithstanding, inmates DO have to be fed, housed, given basic medical care. Things that the government can ignore on the outside. What she did may turn out to be the most logical choice for her.
