It takes time for Law Enforcement to Investigate:

9/28 (Friday) Robbery

9/29 (Saturday) Purchased Pacifica

10/02 (Tuesday) Cashed in Lottery Tickets

10/02 (Tuesday Night Picked Up Driving Pacifica)

He should be banned from ever cashing or purchasing lottery tickets once he is released.Stealing is wrong no matter what but this guy won and robbed a bank right afterwards.It's so hard to comprehend that.

What a coincidence though...that bank number is one of my favorite plays I was thinking about playing heavy before reading this article, 1131. I like it as 1311 but .50 box will pay $600.Hasnt hit in NY evening since 2004 but it may hit in any state.I wonder how long it'll take before... [ More ]

This all too funny that people believe everything they read without paying attention to what they are reading WOW

It says the store camera Tuesday night the 27th where he cashed in the lottery tickets showed him driving away in a minivan with temp plates and robs the bank on the 28th Wednesday morning got pulled over that night and found the minivan was purchased on the 29th with proceeds from the robbery. It just don't add up to me but I am only commenting the article itself.

Now he got... [ More ]

This is the Nature versus Nurture debate. Are you born to be successful or do you learn it in your environment? Is it genetics or education?

Some are able to overcome obstacles and lead successful and satisfying lives. Some are hampered by their environment and struggle to survive.

Some of the obstacles that people choose are cigarettes, alcohol, illegal drugs. These lead to illegitimate babies that can become obstacles to success. Can not always.

Remember Jim Hayes? The other bank robber profiled here on LP. Jim and Dexter may meet each other in Prison. Crime does not pay.

Excellent observation skills showed by an FBI agent. Surveillance cameras are all over. Especially in a bank.

Good work by the Palatine police officer who spotted the vehicle and pulled it over.

On a side note, I watch Forensic Files. A criminal usually leaves a trail behind that the police can follow. A criminal might as well leave their ID at the scene of their crime. They will be caught.

One reason why our prisons are full.

At least Dexter L. Riley cooperated and confessed... [ More ]

Lottery ticket leads FBI to Illinois bank robbery suspect

Sometimes when you win, you really lose.

Such is the case for Arlington Heights resident Dexter L. Riley, whose good fortune in the Illinois lottery helped the FBI link him to a bank robbery last month in Palatine.

The FBI on Thursday announced Riley, 38, is charged with holding up the Chase Bank at 1131 E. Dundee Road on Sept. 28, getting away with more than $8,250 in the heist.

It's what authorities say Riley left behind a scratch-off lottery ticket that led to his undoing.
