A homeless man once robbed a bank for $1. This is proof of how broken our healthcare systems is.
Alsip entered a Bank of America on the morning of Aug. 23, where he approached a teller with a note demanding $1.
Holding the $1 bill, Alsip waited in the lobby of the bank until police arrived and arrested him. He was originally charged with both second-degree robbery and third-degree theft, but his robbery charge was later dismissed.
Alsip allegedly told police officers that he ‘robbed’ the bank so he could receive medical care in jail. The 50-year-old homeless man has no previous criminal record, but has recently showed signs of desperation to get help.
