Initially, the crime appeared to be straightforward. Police responded to a report of a robbery at a convenience store in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The clerk reported that a man had presented him with a written note that said "Give me all your money or I will shoot you." The clerk complied. Police tracked down the suspected robber and arrested him.
That's when the situation became complicated.
The suspect confessed to the crime, but said that a friend had set him up for the robbery. The police then talked to the friend, a young lady whom they arrested for an outstanding warrant. She said that one of her friends--the clerk at the convenience store--had asked her to rob the store because "he was tired and wanted to go home."* She provided texts to prove her claim.
All three criminal masterminds were arrested.
