Sheriff Offers to Marry Fugitive Robbers If They Surrender


LAPEER, Mich. — The Lapeer County sheriff compares them to Bonnie and Clyde. But unlike the legendary crime duo, who never got married, these modern bank robbery suspects have an offer from Ron Kalanquin to help them tie the knot.
"I'll volunteer to marry them in the jail if they surrender," the sheriff said Monday. Kalanquin said he wanted the Lapeer couple off the streets before their cash ran out and they attempted another robbery.
The suspects, a 24-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman, are suspected of taking about $5,000 robbery of a Lapeer County Bank & Trust branch in Deerfield Township, about 60 miles north of Detroit.
Detectives determined that the robbery money was used to buy wedding rings, pay back rent and pay the woman's attorney for work done in a child custody case, The Flint Journal reported. Full Story - Veranda Magazine - Tucson Cigarettes - Cutter and Buck
