Ain't No Thang!

Charlotte robbery suspect drops T-shirt at scene

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - A suspect in a North Carolina home invasion robbery is in jail after a T-shirt bearing his photo was found outside the crime scene.
The Charlotte Observer reports Friday that the shirt fell out of the suspect's car as he was making a hasty getaway.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say a man and woman were at home when two men broke in March 29 and took a wallet and some jewelry.

The suspects struggled with the man as they fled. Later, the man found a black T-shirt on the ground displaying a mug shot and the slogan: "Making money is my thang."
Two days later, 25-year-old Jonathan Tyrone Huntley turned himself in and was charged with common law robbery and breaking and entering. It wasn't immediately known if he has a lawyer.

I’m often known to make the joke that I wouldn’t know a certain celebrity or athlete if they walked up to me with a shirt that had their name stitched on it. It seems like the criminal investigation world has the same problem so criminals have to make it easier. That’s where JT Huntley comes in. He won’t give you his name – he’ll give you his photo and slogan. Making money is his “thang” and since robbery is a great way to make money the Charlotte police might have had an idea he did the caper. Of course Huntley went the extra mile and turned himself in too. Most helpful and accessible criminal ever but if money is his thang he may find out that crime don't pay.
