If you're looking for Valentine's Day date ideas, maybe don't take advice from this man. On December 5, 2016, Christopher Castillo took a woman he met on a dating app on their first date. Then he robbed a bank and made her drive the getaway car.

Castillo was later charged with armed robbery and assault and battery on a police officer because he allegedly spat on the officers, WPRI said, telling them "the gun isn't even loaded."

He pleaded guilty to both charges, and last week was sentenced to a total of 5 years, according to WPRI. He had also been charged with carrying an illegal firearm, but the charges were dropped when the police found out the gun was an antique owned by a family member.
