This is quite possibly the most bizarre story you’ll read today. Anyone who has tried a diet knows the frustration of it failing to help you lose weight. However, Zachary Rapheal Torrance had a reaction for the ages when he robbed four Subways in an attempt to “get his money back” for a failed “Jared diet.”[1]

From The Daily Mail[3]:
An angry Subway customer has been arrested in Alabama for allegedly holding up four the chain’s stores because their ‘Jared Diet’ failed to yield him any results.
Zachary Rapheal Torrance, 18, was arrested Thursday in Hueytown on suspicion of armed robbery.
Police allege Torrance held up one shop on Wednesday and is suspected in three other recent robberies, all in the Birmingham area.
‘He told the detective that he had been on the ‘Subway Diet’ and it had not worked for him and he felt like he wanted his money back,’ Hueytown Police Chief Chuck Hagler said.
‘The detective felt like he was being serious.’
The robbery happened about 8.45 pm at the Subway located at 810 Allison-Bonnett Memorial Highway.
Hagler said a man dressed in bright orange shoes walked into the store, produced a handgun and robbed the store of an undisclosed amount of money.
No one was injured in the robbery.
Just when you think you’ve heard it all folks, someone like this comes along and has to out-do the last crazy guy. I’m just glad nobody was injured during this moron’s hijinks. Is being exceedingly stupid a crime? I feel like it should be.
