Tucson Domino's Robbed with Stolen Handgun by Suspect Seeking Return to Jail

An unusual armed robbery at a Tucson Domino's Pizza location has led to the arrest of a suspect who told investigators he committed the crime for the sole purpose of being sent back to jail, according to court documents.

The incident unfolded when the suspect entered the Domino's restaurant brandishing a handgun, which was later determined to have been stolen. After demanding cash, the suspect was quickly apprehended by responding officers from the Tucson Police Department. Court records obtained by local outlets KVOA and KOLD reveal that the suspect confessed to the robbery during interrogation, stating he had no other motive than wanting to return to custody.

The stolen firearm used in the commission of the crime has been recovered by police. Fortunately, no employees or customers were injured during the encounter, though the staff was shaken by the incident. The suspect now faces multiple felony charges, including armed robbery and possession of a stolen weapon, ensuring he will likely get his wish of extended jail time.
