Outlaw

The Resume

    (1958-July 20, 1992)
    Robbed eight banks in the Chicago suburbs in the early '90s wearing a Cubs cap, false beard and mustache
    Shot and wounded a Palatine, Illinois police officer during a traffic stop (November 4, 1991)
    Captured after his eighth robbery in a high speed chase through the Chicago suburbs (December 16, 1991)
    Attempted to escape custody, killing a corrections officer and a U.S. deputy marshall before being shot, wounded and killing himself (July 20, 1992)

Why he might be annoying:

    He was a Hoffman Estates, Illinois police officer before turning to a life of crime.
    Once his wife discovered he was a bank robber, she helped him with his last few robberies.
    Because of his law enforcement background, he knew what cops would be looking for at crime scenes and covered his tracks well.
    He was spotted during his eighth robbery and was captured after his escape vehicle crashed.
    His wife Jill was with him at the time, and rather than be taken into custody, she put a bullet in her head.
    He was charged with eight armed bank robberies and attempted murder of a cop.
    He somehow smuggled a handcuff key and during a prison transfer with eight other cons he freed himself, disarmed a guard, killed him and one other before collapsing from a gunshot wound.

Why he might not be annoying:

    During his tenure as a cop he received several letters of commendation.
    He opened a used book store, but when the business failed he was distraught over how he could support his wife's 'expensive lifestyle.'
