Michigan fugitive found in Pennsylvania bar in hospital gown

I don't mean to give gratuitous advice but a better disguise might be in order.

PITTSBURGH—A fugitive wanted for bank robbery in Michigan is in custody after police say he walked out of a Pittsburgh hospital and into a bar wearing only his hospital gown, with an intravenous needle still his arm.
Authorities say police were called to JR's Bar Friday night after 20-year-old Elbert Lewis Thompson II walked in from Allegheny General Hospital. Thompson was taken into custody a short time later.

Police in Vandergrift say Thompson had been detained by officers after fleeing a traffic stop there, about 25 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. He was initially hospitalized after complaining of feeling sick and losing consciousness.

Thompson is wanted in Oakland County, Michigan, for armed robbery and other charges. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.

1. They probably spotted him because he is only 20. You must be 21 to drink in PA. nt

2. Oakland-- I went to college for a year in Oakland.

Madonna is from nearby. Coincidence? I think not.

Plus, he probably wanted the barkeep to attach a keg to his IV. I would. :shrug:
