Only white people would assume this would be ok to do as a joke.
It’s what a Minnesota man told police after admitting he and his girlfriend completely fabricated a story about being robbed last week at knifepoint of several high priced items by three black men.
Ryan Reiersgaard and Katie Mager, both 27, appeared separately in bond court on Sunday, where Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney Joseph Carlson detailed the contrasting tactics each allegedly took in admitting their misdeeds.
The pair claimed that their supposedly stolen property included $5,000 cash, an 18-karat platinum wedding band with a 2-carat diamond stone worth $12,000, an Apple MacBook, a Burberry purse, a Louis Vuitton luggage bag worth $3,000 and an iPad.
They initially told investigators they’d gotten lost about 1:50 a.m. on Lower Wacker Drive en route to their downtown hotel when they decided to park their rental car and hoof it with all their luggage in tow.
Mager told detectives three black men approached them, and when one of them pulled a knife in the 300 block of North Columbus, the couple ran, abandoning their belongings and dialing 911.
One of the robbers, Mager said, looked like the cartoon character “Fat Albert” and “reeked of marijuana,” Carlson said.
Well….HEY…HEY…HEY…you are going to jail.
