Darwin Olympics: Groom Busted for Bank Robbery Day Before Wedding

Meanwhile in Texas . . .

Weddings have gotten so expensive now it’s leading to stuff like THIS.

There’s a 36-year-old guy named Heath Bumpous in Crockett, Texas.  And he was set to get married this past Saturday.

BUT on Friday morning, apparently Heath realized he couldn’t afford the ring or the venue.

So . . . he robbed a bank.

He didn’t wear a mask, and the police put surveillance shots up on Facebook that day.  His fiancée saw them . . . and convinced him to turn himself in.

So on Friday afternoon, he turned himself in and confessed.

The wedding was canceled, and Heath is still in jail on aggravated robbery charges.
