Round Trip

Kevin Martzett was out of jail after posting bond. He even got money back, in the form of a check payable to him, from the Cass County Jail, as he had a credit balance when he left.

He evidently wanted money right away, so he and a friend with a gun found a man in his yard in Lincoln, Nebraska and held him up. They took $45 from the fellow's wallet, and then drove him to an ATM where they forced him to deposit the $75 jail check into his account, and withdraw $60 and give it to them. Then they let him go.

Can you guess how they found out his name? Kevin is back in jail. They're looking for his friend.
