Lock him up and throw away the key [View all]

This is a candidate for life without, if I've ever seen one. He has been arrested at least 60 (sixty!!!!!) times, is wandering the streets and punches an 8 year old on the face in order to rob him of his iPad? Career criminals like this should NEVER see the light of day. He has had his chances.


MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Police say cell phones and other mobile devices are being stolen more often, but a violent robbery involving an 8-year-old boy had some people shaking their heads and a Minneapolis man leaping to action. Last Thursday, a boy was punched and the iPad in his hands was stolen outside a Minneapolis restaurant. Aaron Stillday, 32, was arrested and charged with first-degree aggravated robbery. Police caught him after a good Samaritan chased him down.

“This is the scum of the earth,” he said. “You cannot hit a child like that. Don’t hit him for his iPad, or for anything.” Armeli, who works at a Greek restaurant nearby, heard the commotion and went after the robber. While talking to 911 on his cell phone, he chased Stillday for more than a half-mile. Police say they’ve seen Stillday before. “As I was told, he’s been arrested 60 times,” Armeli said. “I can’t believe they let him out.”

Police have also seen this kind of crime before. While there isn’t much left of the iPad – it was smashed on the sidewalk — its original value is what made it a target in the first place.
