Ten years in prison for $ 480 stolen poker

American justice not joking. A 21 year old man was sentenced last week to 10 years in prison for pointing a private poker game and stole $ 480.
Poker private deflected

24 August 2010, two masked gunmen burst into the house of Al Elchert in Tiffin, Ohio during a poker game. The two men throw a bag on the table and ordered to ten players to put their money. “Six of us did. They did not wait for the other four, “said Elchert on ABCLocal. The robbers then decamped to the passage by dropping $ 125. “I play cards for nearly 50 years and I’ve never been robbed before. The door is never closed even, “said Elchert.
Ten years in prison for loot $ 480

Christopher Ferstler is one of two robbers arrested by police in Tiffin. He pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary and kidnapping. Last week, a judge sentenced the young man of 21 years to 10 years in prison. He must also repay the $ 480 he had stolen. “I think he deserves it” responded Al Elchert. “He pointed a gun at us and he admitted in court. ”
Bad loser accomplice

The accomplice Ferstler, Xavior Purnell, must meet the same charges but his trial will proceed in a few months. “He came three times a day. He won the first and lost the second and then said “I shall return.” The third time, he wore a mask, “said Elchert.

Moral of the story: you have to collect the “bad beat” and avoid going on “Tilt.”
