This Odessa Criminal Is Really Happy for Some Reason
I don't think I've ever seen a criminal quite this happy before.
Odessa Police arrested 36-year-old Shawn Paul Melonakos for Robbery, Possession of Methamphetamine, False Identification – Fugitive from Justice, and for a parole violation warrant.
Wow, this guy was very busy.
From NewsWest 9:
Officers responded to Door of Hope Thrift Store on East 8th Street in response to a robbery. Investigators found that a male subject had taken merchandise from the store without an attempt to pay.
The complainant at the store confronted the suspect, later identified as Melonakos, he reportedly picked up a large rock and threatened the complainant with it.
Well, the thrift shop folks weren't hearing it, fired a shot at Melonakos and then chased after him.
He should have just used $20 at the thrift shop like Macklemore!
