Imagine that, in prison for 15 years for robbing a shoe store. What do you think about during that 15 years? How you can better your life? What good you can do on release. How you would like to rob the same store again. The day after getting out! LOL
Police say a man walked out of a New Jersey prison after serving 15 years for robbing a children's shoe store, headed straight back to the same shop and robbed it again.
In 1999, 25-year-old Christopher Miller was arrested after he forced employees into the back room of the Stride Rite shoe store on Hooper Avenue in Toms River, tied them up and fled with cash.
After a 15-year sentence, Miller was released on Friday from South Woods State Prison in Bridgeton.
Police say Miller, now 40, took a bus from Atlantic City to Toms River on Saturday, and went to the same shoe store.
Employees tell police that he entered the store and demanded cash, telling the workers -- a teenage boy and 43-year-old woman -- to go to the back room. They refused.
He became agitated, according to police, and took the cash register drawer, which had $389.
He then took the workers' cell phones and fled on foot.
Police say he was found a few blocks away, with the cash stashed in a gutter and the phones in a garbage can.
Police say Miller lists Tulsa, Okla. as his last address. His connection to Toms River is not clear.
He is charged with robbery and is being held on $100,000 bail. Police had no attorney information for him.
