Ride in Style

Andre Jones picked up a man in his limousine in Sacramento, Calif., and agreed to take him to Lake Tahoe. Along the way, the chauffeur's phone rang. “Don't panic, we're going to take care of you,” his boss told him. Huh? That's when Jones learned his passenger, who had him stop at a bank to get the $275 fare, had made the withdrawal at gunpoint. Jones told his boss where he was, and police surrounded the limo and took Alexander Michael Jenkins III, 18, into custody for bank robbery. Jenkins even had Jones take his bag for him after the heist. It had bundles of bills inside, as well as Jenkins' court papers — he had just been released from jail, where he had been held on robbery charges.
