Robber high on mushrooms
    #7487713 - 10/05/07 09:01 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

A robber testified yesterday he was tripping out on drugs when he assaulted and robbed a cabbie, stole the cab and crashed it into a tree.

Orlando Mendoza, 19, pleaded guilty to one count of robbery for what a judge called a "bizarre" attack on a U-Need-A cab driver.

Mendoza robbed the cabbie after ingesting a bag of magic mushrooms on Aug. 5, 2006.

He apologized to Superior Court Justice Helen Rady before she gave him an 18-month conditional sentence.

Assistant Crown attorney James Spangenberg told Rady the cab driver had been dispatched to the Marconi Boulevard area. The cab was not intended for Mendoza, who flagged it down anyway.

Once in the cab, he demanded money. The driver said he had only $20.

Mendoza punched the driver, damaged the cab's computer and demanded the keys. Mendoza drove the cab through the housing complex, eventually hitting a tree near his home.

He ran into a house, where police arrested him. Once at police headquarters, Mendoza continued to act strangely.

Defence lawyer Wally Libis told Rady his client had eaten the entire bag of mushrooms offered to him by friends. He said Mendoza thought the cab driver was related to the devil.

Mendoza's pre-sentence report said he had problems with authority and school, but no previous trouble with violent behaviour.

He's working full-time and wants to go back to school. Mendoza's family has been supportive, Rady noted.

The judge said cab driving is a particularly vulnerable occupation and she had to take into account public safety concerns.

But Mendoza's expression of remorse and his recent good behaviour convinced her he could serve his sentence in the community.

The first 12 months will be house arrest, she said, allowing Mendoza to leave his home only for work or school. His parents must accompany him on any medical appointments.

He's banned from drug and alcohol consumption.

Rady also placed Mendoza on probation after he serves his sentence and ordered him to complete 100 hours of community service.

He must also pay $1,000 for the damage to the cab and give a DNA sample.

"You've been given a bit of an opportunity here," Rady told Mendoza.

Right. Drugs that are already illegal (especially if this is in americant, and he's under 21) and now he's banned from them?

Oh, sure, it's against the law to take them, but now you're banned from taking them.

I don't want to defend the guy, but doesn't this sound totally bollocks?

This is why kids shouldn't "eat an entire bag" of shrooms!

It's not the shrooms, it's the stupidity. :shrug:

Wow, nothing makes your life of crime less successful than high-level doses psychedelic drugs. They're a great way to celebrate your crime-spree, not to kick it off. Drugs like this should be legal, because it makes it harder to pull-off your schemes. Makes the cops' jobs easier.
