Feb 5, 8:39 PM (ET) SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - Police have arrested a woman they say robbed a South Bend restaurant while tearfully apologizing to the cashier. The woman, whose identity wasn't released, was taken to the St. Joseph County Jail on a charge of theft Tuesday night. According to a police report, the woman told the cashier at the Long John Silver's restaurant she had a gun and needed money, then began crying and said, "If I wasn't down and out, I wouldn't be doing this." As the woman waited at the counter, a customer in the drive-through line called police. The woman was running across a nearby parking lot as police arrived and arrested her. Police said no weapon was found. It seems that the times have changed In effect, it changed me and you As needs are ever greater Cash and cents are few The burden of the masses, remains To provide for family’s needs And much because corporations Have bigwigs who like greed The jobs are ever scarcer As we all seek a new wage But now it’s too competitive Within this day and age So, we’re left to just survive And do so in any way I do so hope these times pass But yet, it’s not today
