Portrait of a dumbass as a young criminal

Authorities say a man was arrested after he dropped his gun during a robbery and returned to the scene to try and buy it back from the victims. 

Cedrick Mitchell, 39, faces charges of armed home invasion and resisting an officer, according to online jail records. He is being held without bond in Manatee County Jail. Police said Mitchell entered a motel room and asked for pills from the two men inside. When they responded that they didn't have any, Mitchell took out his gun and told the men "everything you got," according to the Bradenton Herald.

Mitchell dropped his gun when the men began to fight with him, police say. One of the victims sprayed him with pepper spray and Mitchell ran away, authorities said. He returned to the motel room minutes later and offered the men $40 in exchange for the gun he dropped, the Herald reported.

He was pepper-sprayed in the face again. Police found Mitchell when he was running away. He has a criminal history that includes robbery and battery, according to the newspaper. From here:

Really? No kidding? You mean this isn't his first brush with the law? 

Oh, I bet I know what happened ... he broke out of jail. He had to be in jail right? I mean I assume you have to stay in jail for a long time if you commit robbery and battery and so forth.
