SANTA
FE, N.M. (AP) - A New Mexico inmate on his way out of jail was
quickly thrown back in after authorities say he stole another inmate's cash
then treated himself to a hearty lunch.
The Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office
told KOAT-TV that 20-year-old Frank Rodriguez-Tapia swiped $80 in cash while a
guard's back was turned as Rodriguez-Tapia was walking out of jail. The money
belonged to another inmate who was just coming into the Santa Fe jail and going through booking.
Police say Rodriguez-Tapia was
supposed to report immediately to the electronic monitoring office, but bought
lunch at Blake's Lotaburger. He later admitted to the theft, turned over the
remaining $67 and was sent back to jail.
Rodriguez-Tapia is now facing new larceny
charges.
It was unclear if he had an
attorney.
