WI Man Busted After He Tried Stealing $400K From His Work

I'll give this Wisconsin man an "A" for effort but this crime was not a good idea from the beginning.

Wisconsin Man Arrested For Embezzling $400,000 From His Job

You gotta give criminals credit. It doesn't matter how difficult the job is or how slim the chance to get away with it, they still have the confidence that they'll get away with it. That's a serious ego right there.

Let's take the crime to the next level. In this case, the suspect stole from his employer. Did you think he would be able to really get away with it? Apparently yes, because he still committed the crime.

So our criminal of the day is Curtis Oglesby Jr. from Greenfield. He was an armored truck driver for Brinks Company. It's a safe guess that he's no longer employed by that company since he's going to jail for a long time.

Over an eight-month span, he would steal money from ATM machines and cash boxes. The count would come up short whenever he worked a shift which brought the focus onto him. In total, he took over $400,000. Did he think that was going to go unnoticed?

When confronted about the missing money, he confessed to taking it. The excuse was he needed it for medical bills and the cash was all gone. The police investigation found that he was lying.

The suspect used all the stolen money to purchase things for himself like a car, expensive jewelry, and guns. Plus, there were records of him depositing the money into his own bank account. Bravo to you Mr. Smart Criminal.
