Man and girl, 17, arrested in robberies
A 17-year-old Freetown girl, reported missing by her family last week, and an Acushnet man with some gold teeth and a tattoo on his neck were arraigned yesterday on charges that they committed a string of bank robberies in Bristol County in the past two weeks.
Caitlin Ingham and 21-year-old Kristopher Santillo were tracked down to a motel on Route 6 in Dartmouth Monday night by police from three departments who had identified them as suspects in at least three bank robberies, the first of which took place Feb. 6 in Acushnet, authorities said.
First off, take a look at the winner in the picture. If BabyGirl G. ever came home with that, she'd be delivered to the convent the next day. And the flower garden out back would have some fresh fertilizer. 17 years old you do not hang around with 21 year old hoodlums. Not under my roof. Not while there's still breath in my body and 00 buckshot in my Mossberg.
Second, I love the line from the cops investigating the robberies:
“The detectives’ impression is that there is not enough brains among the three of them to orchestrate any multiplicity of bank heists,’’ said Lieutenant Jeffrey Silva, spokesman for the New Bedford police.
Heh.
And, once again, we see the tough MA justice system at work:
Bail was set at $3,500 in cash for Ingham and $20,000 in cash for Santillo, who also had his bail revoked in other cases, according to a spokesman for Bristol District Attorney C. Samuel Sutter.
$3,500 bail for bank robbery. $20K for a very possible flight risk. Why, it's almost like we don't care if they show up for court here in MA. They'll be slapped on the wrist - I'll wager $50 the girl doesn't even serve jail time - and let loose on the MA public to offend again and again. And, most likely, they'll wind up killing someone in one of their future endeavors, and the usual handwringers will show up decrying the "easy availability of guns" or somesuch nonsense.
Gah. Every day I become more cynical. I wonder why that is?
That is all.

My friends have learned to not call me cynical, because then I just go on a rant about how they are ignorant. You aren't cynical, you are just paying attention.

I'm sure it will come out that she's a fine girl, from a good family, who just got on the wrong path, blah blah blah. All the same, if I helped out in a couple of bank robberies, I'm pretty sure I'd need more than $3,500 to continue being a blight in my neighborhood.
The court makes money off of the forfeited bail if they're no-shows, right? Nah... that's probably not an incentive for letting them go.
According to the article he wasn't her boyfriend. She was a friend of his girlfriend. She's just got bad taste in friends all around.
Ingham and Santillo, who is a Florida native but lists an address in Acushnet, were not romantically involved, although both were arrested at the Dartmouth motel Monday evening. Ingham was friends with Santillo’s girlfriend, police said.
When police showed up, Ingham said she was forced by three black men to commit the robberies. Authorities said they could find no evidence she had been coerced. She also falsely identified Santillo as her boyfriend, police said.
Ain't he something to make a parent proud?
The girl has a serious problem just for finding that guy attractive; I have to wonder if she is mentally impaired.
"If BabyGirl G. ever came home with that, she'd be delivered to the convent the next day. And the flower garden out back would have some fresh fertilizer."
The Flowers NO LIKEY!!!
Good grief. Did you read the comments to the story?
"Mansfielddude" says "Nice picture. If I saw that guy walking towards me on the street I'd hand him my wallet and beg him not to hurt me or my family."
If I saw that coming to me on the street, I'd cross the street... and make sure that my cover garment was nice and loose so I could draw in a hurry if needed. But then again, when I wear wool, it's because it's been shorn off of some sheep... not because I grow it naturally.
Among other things, the knucklehead apparently put pictures of himself on Myspace flashing some of the swag.
Although the Globe article doesn't tell us what they were, the key fact here is that Santillo was already out on bail already for a marijuana distribution charge that has been open for over a year, since January 2009. See the New Bedford (sub)Standard Times, http://www.southcoasttoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100223/NEWS/100229973
It is pathetic that the DA's office in Bristol County allowed a defendant to prolong a drug case for over a year.
This is not the first indication that the current DA in Bristol county has troubles in the District Courts -- back in November of 2009 he abruptly transferred Paul Machado, his Second Assistant in charge of the District Courts, to handle juvenile cases, and spun a fable that the DA was getting more closely involved in the supervision of the District Court Staff. http://www.thesunchronicle.com/articles/2009/12/15/news/6600381.txt
One of the good things about Scott Brown's win was that we avoided having Sam Sutter take a run at the AG's office.
