KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A 71-year-old man who admitted to robbing a bank because he would “rather be in jail than at home” with his wife was sentenced to home confinement by a Kansas judge.

Lawrence John Ripple was sentenced Tuesday to six months of home confinement, according to the Kansas City Star.

……

In September, Ripple gave the bank teller a note that read, “I have a gun, give me money.” The teller gave him the money and instead of running away, he took the cash and sat in the lobby.

When approached by a security guard, Ripple quickly gave himself up and was taken into custody.

When asked about the incident, he told investigators that he wrote the robbery note in front of his wife and told her “he would rather be in jail than at home.”
