The police force had no leads. They resorted to shaking down all the regular criminals in the small town.
"So, where were you last Tuesday, Brucey Boy?" asked Detective Phillips.
"Tuesday nights I'm always at the ball game with my stepson" responded Bruce.
"How 'bout you Cheryl? Were you out drinking again?" the Detective questioned. "Dry January. I been home all month watching TV with Ronny." Phillips remembered that Ronny was her boyfriend but he'd been in a car accident and had a broken leg. The alibi made sense. Joel was working on his front lawn when Detective Phillips approached.
"How can I help ya officer?"
After admiring the shiny Corvette in the driveway, the police officer asked Joel where he was last Tuesday around 9pm.
"Oh last Tuesday, I was at The Alibi. Lots of people saw me there." he responded.
"Just what I wanted to hear. You're under arrest." Phillips handcuffed Joel and put him in the back of the police car.
As he brought Joel into the police station, he announced "fellas, I got him. Joel McRay even admitted to being at The Alibi at the time it was robbed. Case closed."

Reply to [WP] A bar called “The Alibi” that’s notorious for being just that.. an alibi. Often packed with ex-cons, the customers of The Alibi adhere to a silent, but strict, code: If they say they were here, we saw them. They’ll always back an alibi, no questions asked. by JelloStaplerr
