Man blames Imaginary Friend for robbery.
 
Uh....yeah, check it out here. :cheesegrin:

JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) - A Jonesboro man may have needed to listen to his conscience - and not his imaginary friend - when thinking about robbing a home. Robert McKenzie, 22, faces felony residential burglary and theft charges after stealing $10.50 in dimes from a Jonesboro home.

Police say McKenzie told investigators his imaginary friend "Curt" told him to go inside the home. At a court hearing Friday, McKenzie asked a reporter why he didn't take a picture of "Curt." Police say Nettleton School District employees caught McKenzie robbing a co-worker's home Wednesday.

Officers say McKenzie stabbed a man with a screwdriver before being arrested. McKenzie was being held Saturday on $5,000 bond at the Craighead County jail. He refused to fill out paperwork for a public defender to represent him.
Suuuure he did. Someone needs help quickly. :P

I'll get the ball rolling on this...Bendy did it! :slybendy:

Though seriously I hope this poor soul didn't think he was the first person to have thought about using this defense, people have been playing the imaginary friend card ever since the dawn of man almost.

Cassini90125 04-05-2008 10:05 PM

"Curt"? Ha. I'll bet it was Peas whispering in his ear the whole time. "You gotta steal those dimes, Robbie! The House needs the money! Do it, Robbie! Do it for Foster's!"

8D 8D 8D

Seriously, this is weird. I'm curious as to whether or not the show will be mentioned at any point in the case (other than the psych hearing, I mean). :cheesegrin:

Lynnie 04-05-2008 10:07 PM

Oh my word.. I have not heard anything like this in a long time. And I don't recall ever hearing anything serious like this from an adult. What a laugh riot! 8D

Yes, I think he needs help, NOW, before he hurts himself. Or someone else. Or even other imaginary friends!

Sparky 04-05-2008 10:11 PM

Maybe he read this forum and found out that the show was ending so he wanted to make sure he had enough dimes for the long-distance plea-bargaining call to Burbank. :P

I wish I knew the guy's email addy. I could try and see if he's registered here... :o

pitbulllady 04-06-2008 10:08 AM

Well, he ain't none of MY people, last name notwithstanding!
This is even better than the would-be bank robber who tied the black trashbag(without eye, or AIR, holes)over his head as a disguise and passed out from lack of oxygen in the middle of a robbery...while facing the OPPOSITE direction from the teller's counter!

OK, that was classic. I have nothing to say about it exept that it's classic.

Brief side note-- Sparky, are you serious about the show ending? Please tell me this is a sick if belated April Fools' joke. OK, back on topic...

Yeah, I just saw that. I'm sad now... <Goes in corner of SubWay office and cries, then goes home and hugs Wilt pillow and cries some more. OK, maybe not really but I am a little sad.>

Imaginary Light 04-06-2008 10:37 AM

Ha, okay. Usually you would hear this kind of thing from a child. I find it kind of humorous that an adult is using this excuse :P

Partymember 04-06-2008 11:04 AM

is this anything like the voices i hear?

voice #3 is funny but #7 keeps talking about "the sword of God" and he kinda freaks me out.

:cheesegrin:

You, my friend, earned yourself an internet.

(Takes bow) I do come up with a good one now and then. :cheesegrin:

I really would like to read this guy's psych report, or at least get a description of ol' Curt. I'm no expert but I'm willing to bet he's an "old-style" Imaginary Friend, as described by Ben E. Factor; invisible and never says a word. :cheesegrin:

I do like that, yes. :bendy:

I'm going to assume that Peas was counting on a lucrative long-term contract as the new star of Foster's to pay off crippling gambling debts, but that he was dropped by CN following the poor reaction to his debut, turning him to a life of crime-by-proxy and larceny-once-removed.

Another victim of the Hollywood machine...let this be a lesson to you and your children.

Classic, Ditchy. Pure and utter classic. 8D And kudos (belated, but kudos nonetheless) to Cassini for the line that started it all! :frankiesmile:

Cassini90125 04-07-2008 12:35 PM

The crime itself is an odd one, too, never mind the fact that Peas Curt allegedly told him to do it. I mean, stealing a pile of dimes? I'm guessing Robbie was looking for more but that's all that was available or all he could find. Not a bright lad, I'll say that. :cheesegrin:

It occurs to me that this whole situation just cries out for satirical fanart, if anyone's feeling both bored and mischievious enough to do it. 8D

some guy you dont know 04-07-2008 02:10 PM

maybe he wanted a pair of cheap shoes from K-mart? i bought a pair of shoes from k-mart for around 10 bucks once.

ok yeah, it just seems kinda... weird. i havent got any idea as to why he'd steal so little in dimes.

LOL! Very nice, Some Guy! 8D I love how he looks over at "no one" waiting for them to answer.

Cassini90125 04-08-2008 12:53 AM

Cassini is amused. Good job! :bloogrin:

One Radical Dude 04-08-2008 01:53 AM

Lol, I am amused, also. Nice one. :bloogrin:

Nyo 04-14-2008 03:15 PM

This...is just too weird for words. But so amusing for me. :D

The jokes, as the expression goes, just write themselves.
