By breaking The Eight Commandment - “THOU SHALT NOT STEAL” you are kind of in enough trouble already but for 18-year-old Justin T. Veal not getting home on time is apparently worse.

After last week arrest he was charged with robbery and jailed. He told detectives that he robbed about a dozen businesses of an estimated $10,000 this year only because he needed some “gas money.” But somehow managed to watch the clock and get home on time cause “dear ol’ mom” said so.

“Curfew is 1:30. Her rules, her house. Make it in by 1:30,” Veal told television station WTHR Wednesday

He also never did any robbery on Thanksgiving and Sunday because he always went to church with his mother on Sunday. Ironic don’t you think?

Police say Veal stayed close to home for several of the robberies and that while he had a weapon in each of the holdups, no one was injured.

He said he was desperate for extra money. Hmmm, wasn’t $10,000 enough. “I had just got hired to two new jobs and really, I just needed some gas money,” he said. “It was the easy way. Sometimes you never think you’re going to get caught.”
