Omaha police have concluded that a staged robbery took place Monday at an Omaha Pepper Jax Grill near 72nd and Ames.  The new manager on duty, Brandon Thompson, apparently colluded with the armed robber in the theft of nearly $1500.  The OPD has reported that Thompson alerted authorities after his friend, Corey Evans, entered Pepper Jax with a gun demanding money.  Police officials claim the two men planned to make the robbery look like a random act, but presented suspicious stories after Evans was apprehended by the police.

A spokesman for Pepper Jax Grill was quoted on KFAB radio as being shocked and disappointed about the incident, because everyone was happy about the opportunity given to Thompson to run the store.  Obviously we can not be sure if any type of affirmative action practices were used in Thompson’s promotion, but this incident serves as yet another small example that the so-called “lack of minority employment opportunities” is a poor excuse for their higher rates of criminal behavior.
