Ohio judge lectures man after his 109th case
Dec 30, 9:09 PM (ET)
CINCINNATI (AP) - A Cincinnati judge said he has seen long criminal records before, but this one was notable. Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Ted Berry gave 41-year-old Norman Holmes a 90-day jail sentence and a lecture Monday after Holmes' 109th misdemeanor conviction.
Police who arrested Holmes for stealing toothpaste from a drug store Sunday found he also was wanted for taking vodka, a screwdriver and air freshener from a convenience store.
Holmes pleaded guilty to a theft charge but had no answer when the judge asked why he didn't become productive instead of stealing.
Records show nearly a third of Holmes' convictions were for theft. He also has served five short prison stints on minor felony charges such as breaking and entering and for drugs.
OK, some people commit crimes because they think it's easier than getting a real job.... After you've been caught and arrested the first 20 times or so, wouldn't you think that robbery isn't your "thing"?

Yeah, once you hit the 50 or so mark you have to start to ask yourself -- maybe I'm not that good at stealing?

Well, maybe some of them were several counts in the same incident, so he only counted them as one in his mind. I guess this is someone who failed the STOPLIFT program!

Re: Ohio judge lectures man after his 109th case
There are some people that get a charge out of stealing - like an addiction.
At what point do they start giving this guy longer prison sentences or put him in a mental institution. Do they really think he won't steal again? Rediculous.
