Don't know what to think about this guy.
If there are people out there who have the means and desire to look into a potential charity case, this might be for you. You have to look at this guy's picture. I would love to hear his story and see if he deserves a second chance.

One armed suspect surprises deputy when prosthesis pops off after fumbled bank robbery


Caught walking out of the bank in west Orlando, Matthew Meguiar struggled briefly and gave Deputy Christopher Thomas one of the surprises of his career.

"The suspect's arm came off during this arrest," said sheriff's spokesman Jeff Williamson.

After handcuffing Meguiar, 26, as well as they could, deputies placed the prosthesis on the roof of a patrol car while they questioned witnesses about the attempted robbery at 6329 W. Colonial Drive, according to Williamson and arrest records.

After filling a bag with cash, teller Marc Nguyen tried to push it through a slot in the teller's cage. Upon being told it was too big to slide through the slot, Meguiar "turned around and walked out the door" without the cash, the report states.

6. Especially in this town.
The young who don't have a professional skill only really have construction work to rely on. He wouldn't qualify.
