An Illinois man was accused of stealing more than $45,000 worth of eyeglasses from suburban Milwaukee stores because he enjoys being around eyewear. And yet, he could have just gotten a job in a eyeglass shop.Jerry Lowery (38) was charged with three counts of armed robbery and one count of fleeing an officer. The charges carry a maximum penalty of more than 120 years in prison and a $310,000 fine. And yet, he could have just gotten a job in a eyeglass shop.
Prosecutors said Lowery walked into three shops between April and July and said he had a gun. They say he took more than 500 pairs of high-end glasses including Prada and Gucci brands, but didn't take cash. And yet, he could have just gotten a job in a eyeglass shop.
The criminal complaint quotes Lowery as saying he "really likes to be around glasses." He told investigators he tries them on in front of a mirror and then discards them. And yet, he could have just gotten a job in a eyeglass shop.
