<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">SPRING RIDGE, MD. &#8212;  ;A man lurking in the shadows approached the two clerks locking the front door of the E-Z Stop II on Rt 235 in Spring Ridge late on Wednesday, August 21, 1991 ;and forced them at gunpoint to re-enter the store. The armed robber then made them remove the cash from the registers and ordered them to retire to the walk-in refrigerator. ; While the clerks were</span> complying with the robber,<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> the silent holdup alarm was activated.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> ; ;</span></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Three Police cars responded to the scene. Maryland State Police Trooper Craig Tyer was the first to arrive, finding two cars still parked on the side of the building. ; Checks were run on the cars in the event one of them was the getaway car. ;</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Two St. Mary&#8217;s Deputies quietly pulled into the parking lot, <strong>Deputy Diane Thompson</strong> covered the rear of the store while <strong>Deputy Keith Fretwell</strong> went to the front door. ; A set of keys was seen still in the front door. ; Peering into the still lighted store the officers could see a man inside. ; ; Trooper Tyer and Deputy Fretwell entered the store and ordered the man to raise his hands. ; The man was slow to respond and was told again to raise his hands to the ceiling.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> ; ; ; ; ; The man complied and was quickly handcuffed by the officers. ; The Robber was identified as Cornelius Leroy Chase, 30, of Liberty Street, Lexington Park.</span></p>



<blockquote><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 20pt;">As the officers began to collect information from the victims and process the crime scene, The Bad Luck Bandit began to holler and scream about his rights</span></h2></blockquote>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> ; ; ; ; ; ; As the officers began to collect information from the victims and process the crime scene, the Robber began to holler and scream about his rights. ; His rights were read to him loud and clear by Deputy Fretwell. ; Chase then acknowledged his understanding of his rights.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Chase then began accusing Trooper Tyer of ‘police brutality’, saying that the trooper had placed his foot on him as he lay on the floor. ;</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The prisoner and Officer were in clear view of four other persons and never once was the man touched other than to handcuff him.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Maryland State Police Detective Charles Salvas arrived at the scene with the case essentially closed. ; Trooper Tyer took the &#8220;Bad Luck Bandit &#8221; to the State Police Barrack for processing. ; ; ; This arrest made the second time in a week that an armed robber was captured by road patrol officers in St. Mary’s County. ; Officers Tyer, Fretwell, and Thompson were justifiably proud of this arrest and were warmly thanked by the clerks and owner of the store. ;</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Earlier in the week Deputy Ted Belleavoine captured Mark Anthony Herbert, the &#8220;Black Bandit&#8221;, after the robbery of the Pizza Hut Delivery in California.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> ; ; ; ; ; The &#8220;Bad Luck Bandit&#8221; yelled at off-duty Deputy Oathar Todd, who had also arrived at the scene, &#8221; See ya Shorty &#8220;.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> ; ; ; ; ; Chase wasn’t going to see anyone for a long while unless they are visiting him at the State  ;Penitentiary.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Chase entered a guilty plea in a plea deal with St. Mary’s States Attorney Walter B. Dorsey on March 31, 1992. ; Court records show the disposition of the case wasn’t until May 1, 2000, with Richard Fritz listed as the States Attorney. Chase was sentenced to five years in prison with credit given for 1,262 days in jail. Related charges of assault and armed robbery were dropped as part of the deal with the public defender, Michael P. Kane, provided free of charge, courtesy of the taxpayers.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Chase was charged with armed robbery in Calvert County, Md., and on July 28, 2006, he entered into a plea deal with the Calvert County States Attorney. THE DEAL: Chase was sentenced to 15 years in prison with all of the related charges dropped by the prosecutor with the case reflecting he was sentenced in St. Mary’s Circuit Court cases as well.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Always sought for child support in St. Mary’s County, this rooster while roosting in the Maryland prison in Savage, Md., picked up various assault charges on guards.  ;On Sept. 28, 2005, he entered a guilty plea to second-degree assault and added sixty days to whatever jail time he was, at that time, enjoying.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">They just couldn’t keep him in jail forever, at least not then.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Chase apparently needed a little money another time as on Dec. 14, 2005, a St. Mary’s County Circuit Court Grand Jury indicted him on charges of armed robbery of several Wawa markets, given his longtime predisposal to robbing convenience stores.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> ;On March 7, 2006, Chase, represented by noted public defender William F. Renahan, Chase got a plea deal from St. Mary’s States Attorney Richard Fritz. THE DEAL: ; Chase entered a guilty plea to robbery in Circuit Court of St. Mary’s and was sent to a flat ten years in prison.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Charges were brought against Chase once more for an armed robbery which took place on Aug. 21, 2004. In a trial in St. Mary’s Circuit Court on Aug. 23, 2010, Chase was sentenced to 25 years in the big house and court records state that in bold print that he is not eligible for parole with the net years he is ordered to serve ringing the bell at 75 big ones. He was also found guilty of the use of a handgun in the commission of a felony and false imprisonment. An attempt by his attorney to spring him in 2015 was unsuccessful as can be seen by both court records as well as his present place of residence.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Chase had been busy in the commercial robbery trade and had moved up to robbing banks.</span></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">WILD DASH ACROSS CORNFIELD LEAVING TRAIL OF CASH AFTER BANK HEIST</h2>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In 2004 he and his nephew robbed the Cedar Point Credit Union in Leonardtown. A clerk at the bank, Martha Thompson, tipped off Chase to information from the inside that would assist in boosting the bank. ; Chase appeared at the bank as it opened in the morning and at gunpoint, directed that the three employees furnish him with the loot. Chase and his helper managed to gather up $150,000 in cash and high tail it across a cornfield behind the bank. Bad luck continued to trail the Bandit Chase as he lost $10,000 in a trail of haste in the cornfield, and that ain’t hay! The cops kept an eye on Chase at a house where he had been living in Mechanicsville.</span></p>

<h2 class="has-text-align-center has-vivid-red-color has-text-color wp-block-heading">WENT TO THE BANK TO GET MONEY TO BUY A CAR</h2>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Chase got caught when he rented a room at the Lafayette Inn, a small highway motel on Rt. 301 in Bel Alton, Md., and hid $48,000 in cash he got in the bank robbery. Now finally being the chips, Chase decided to buy two used cars. One of the cars he bought was from a Charles County Sheriff’s Officer who noticed that the downpayment of the $12,000 in cash he was paid happened to be in sequential bills of fifty dollar denominations. Bad luck, combined with immense stupidity and a dedication to crime, once more ripped apart his plans for life on easy street with other people’s money.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thompson got ten years in prison for her trouble and had a big part of her sentence suspended, but was sent back to prison for violating her probation. Judge Michael Stamm sat on Thompson’s case.</span></p>

MARY&#8217;S TODAY </a>photo</figcaption></figure></div>


<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Chase was sentenced in 2010 to three life sentences, which hardly seems like enough and the Maryland Court of Appeals ordered the case sent back for a new sentence as the harsh sentence administered by Circuit Court Judge C. Clarke Raley was exceeded that agreed upon by the prosecutor and the defense attorney. ; Judge Karen Abrams sat on the new sentencing hearing and sent Chase to the slammer for fifty years without the possibility of parole.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Maryland Corrections records show that as of Oct. 5, 2017, Chase is prisoner #33687 and held in the state prison in Cumberland, Md.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">From start to finish in his career of armed robbery, Chase had a lot of bad luck and apparently never considered working for a living.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">That is the story of the Bad Luck Bandit, as it is unlikely he will ever again walk into a store and hold up the clerks.</span></p>
