They met on a dating app. He robbed a bank on their first date and made her drive the getaway car [View all]

In case you were wondering, this was not in Florida.

And you thought your worst first date story was bad.

A Massachusetts woman became an unexpected getaway driver after a man she met on a dating app robbed a bank on their first date.

Christopher Castillo, the unnamed woman's would-be Robin Hood, plead guilty this week to armed robbery and three counts of assault and battery on a police officer — all committed on their first date on December 5, 2016 — according to the Bristol County District Attorney's Office.

Castillo was sentenced to three years in state prison for the robbery, plus two years in the Bristol County House of Corrections for violently struggling against and spitting on police who tried to subdue him, according to the district attorney's office.


The story goes on to say that she picked him up from his parents house and he spent the next half hour drinking wine in the front seat of her Nissan Maxima.
