Four-hundred and forty-three dollars.

That's the amount of money Nick A. Hawkins allegedly stole from Pavilion's Five Star Bank branch on Monday.

Hawkins, 25, of 24 W. Main St., Le Roy, is in custody tonight.

The money is all gone. Hawkins reportedly spent his loot before his arrest, which he allegedly took from the bank using a demand note.

The 11:30 a.m. robbery triggered a four-hour manhunt in Pavilion involving deputies from Genesee, Wyoming and Livingston counties as well as State Police and the DEC all-terrain-vehicle unit.

Hawkins is charged with robbery in the third degree. He was jailed on $25,000 bail.

No word yet on what led to his arrest.

Not that I'm planning anything, but if I'm going to take a chance on goin' to the clink, it'll be for a lot more than $443.00. Bet he feels stupid.

Bet he feels pretty good about the $443 worth of crack he smoked in 4 days.

Years ago, I witnessed a man nabbed at the old Twin Fair store for shoplifting a pair of baby shoes. His name was in the paper for being arrested and later found guilty. He was fined and spent time in jail.
Not condoning what this person did, but in this economy, I wonder if that amount of money might pay for rent; groceries; or a utility bill?

I'm not discounting that it might be drugs, but why couldn't it be someone trying to do the right thing the wrong way? He'll still pay for his crime.

Well, I suppose anything is possible, but in my life's experience, people steal because they are dirtbags or have a substance abuse problem or a mental illness.
