Man’s robbery spree sparked by love, protection:
It’s even better than it sounds…

ROCKFORD — A love triangle that was escalating into violence was the impetus behind a 24-year-old homeless man’s 24-hour robbery spree that hit two drug stores, two grocery stores and a bank last week, according to court documents.

The documents, including signed statements from Scott Njos and FBI agent Craig Smith, claim Njos was trying to amass $10,000 so he could buy a trailer where he and his girlfriend could escape a man whom she dated while Njos was in prison for a pair of armed robberies in 2004.

According to a petition filed in state court June 1, Njos’ 19-year-old girlfriend sought the court’s protection from a 26-year-old Rockton man for herself, Njos and two children, claiming the Rockton man “hit Scott with a van, brought drugs around my children, took the brake cap off my van twice and made his dog attack me.” A hearing was to be held on the petition Friday, but no one showed.

How was buying a trailer supposed to make their problems magically disappear? I think someone didn’t think their cunning plan all the way through.
