Ah, the things we do for love.
“At around 2pm on Monday, Jan 13, Robert Mark Stasaitis, a retired United States Navy man, was reportedly drunk when he barged into the Paradise Apartelle in Quezon City and demanded to speak with his ex-girlfriend, a Filipina, who recently broke up with him,” reports Michael Punongbayan on Philstar.com.
Stasaitis first threatened to kill himself but later decided to hold cashier Alma Cordero hostage at knifepoint. Police were called in. Paradise Apartelle proprietor Marivic Lim also helped try to calm down Staisaitis.
The hostage drama lasted until 5pm, at which point Stasaitis was arrested and brought to Quezon City Police District Station 10 in Kamuning.
Well, he’s not in paradise, that’s for sure.
