Who among us hasn't had a brief lapse of memory and walked out of a store with something we didn't pay for? Who hasn't had our kid snag something off the shelf of the Kwik-E-Mart, only to discover it later while loading him/her into the car? Who hasn't walked into a store at the Sundance Resort, snagged a necklace off a mannequin, put it in your murse, signed your name to a few postcards, and left without paying? Oh, you guys haven't done that last one? Guess it's just us and Gary Guymon then.You may remember Guymon as the rock-star District Attorney who put away Black Widow murderess Margaret Rudin. Or, more likely, you may remember him as one of the attorneys involved in the infamous G-Sting debacle of 2003.
Guymon's been busy since then, he moved over to the Public Defender's office (where they are, by nature, a little more tolerable of alleged criminal-types), and apparently he has been doing a bit of petty larceny on the side. From LVNow:
On the afternoon of March 24, 2009, just as a clerk walks away from the counter and into a backroom, a man is seen entering the front door. He quickly focuses his attention on a mannequin by the door.We still have a hard time believing this ... it just doesn't seem right. Guymon has to be at the top of the County's pay-scale by now, and his wife is the Guymon in Goldsmith and Guymon. It just doesn't seem possible that he is that hard up for cash.
With almost no hesitation, the man on the tape plucks a necklace from the mannequin. He checks around to see if anyone saw him. He then moves across the store toward the counter and as he walks he appears to slip the necklace into a bag he was carrying.
The man then proceeds to fill out three postcards at the counter, which is how the store was later able to get an idea of who he was. He filled out the postcards, sent one to his wife and one to his office secretary and signed his name -- Gary.
This one pretty much speaks for itself, we won't rob you of the pleasure of watching George Knapp tell the story himself, complete with the actual surveillance video.

What an amazing story. Seriously WTF?
ReplyDeleteFor his sake, hopefully he gave it to his wife and not someone else. Otherwise, he's going to have a bigger problem with her.

ReplyDeleteWhy do you think a wealthy man steals jewelry? The only reason I can think of is he doesn't want purchases to show up on his statements that raise his wife's eyebrows. . .
This is off topic but speaking of robbery,I like that the story is preceded by a Spine fusion commercial. "What do you mean it was only a 5/mph impact you must have radiating pain and are in need of thoracic injections" "Why yes I will accept an attorney lien to perform fusion at C1-2;C2-3; C3-4 etc." and a cage at L1-S2." "Of course, I will testify for you in a bad faith claim, your insurer shoudl have handed over the policy limits immediately."
ReplyDeleteSorry for the misplaced quotes. Also *should*
ReplyDeleteI still say the attorney that rolled into court drunk (and with hooker in tow) wins in a head to head matchup with Guymon. Try a little harder next time Gary. But thanks for playing.
ReplyDeleteGod I love this town. You just can't make this stuff up.

ReplyDeleteCaramagno wasn't drunk, he had a concussion from someone rear-ending him at a stop light while he was bringing his ex-girlfriend to court with him.
4:14 I can't tell if that is a joke, but it's not what the breathalyzer said.
