The Gambler

The Justice Department announced Friday that ex-Bureau of Engraving and Printing employee Donald Edward Stokes had been arrested for allegedly stealing $30,000 in currency from the agency's Western Currency Facility in Fort Worth, Texas. He was charged with theft of government property. (Well, I suppose that's what it was, technically.) The best part? When Stokes was arrested after a high-speed chase, he had a total of $80,000 on him. He said he won the other $50,000 gambling. He must've had the best gambling day of his life. Too bad he was using Uncle Sam's "property" at the time.
