Crime doesn’t pay, and if you are a complete idiot, the little bit of money you do have will be lost in short order.
That is what happened to 25-year-old Humberto Andres Tequida Jr. on May 20, 2014, after Pima County deputies responded to the Chase Bank, located at 2920 W. Valencia Road, about a strong armed robbery. When deputies arrived, they learned the victim had just completed her business transactions and was walking to her car when she was approached by a man suspect who grabbed her bank bag and ran from the scene.
