Always Blame Black People...
When ALL ELSE FAILS. It usually works, but not this time..
MOBILE, Alabama -- A pizza delivery man is behind bars after police say he falsely claimed to have been robbed of his employer's money by two black men on Thursday.
Jared Miller, 40, is facing one count each of filing a false report and third-degree theft after he admitted to taking an undisclosed amount of money from a local Hungry Howie's, said Ashley Rains, public information officer for theMobile Police Department.
Miller arrived at MPD Headquarters around 12:45 p.m. and asked if he could speak with officers about a robbery earlier in the day, Rains said.
He told investigators he had been delivering pizzas when two black men stole money he had taken from customers, police said. He provided investigators with descriptions of the supposed robbers before officers started noticing inconsistencies in his story.
"He actually did admit that he had indeed used the money from Hungry Howie's and that he made up the story of being robbed," Rains said. "This is something that is serious to police because we had put out descriptions of these suspects."

While a police officer escorted him to waiting patrol car en route to Mobile County Metro Jail, Miller confirmed he had lied about the robbery. He said he was suffering through money problems and that he felt bad about wasting tax payer time and money.
"It's such a waste of department resources," Rains said. "It takes police officers away from people who actually need them."
It's not uncommon for officers to be sent on similar unfounded calls, Rains said, although it isn't an everyday occurrence.
Miller has no known previous arrests in Mobile County.
