A California man wanted for robbery was arrested Feb. 25 when he showed up to take a police department entrance exam, the Associated Press reported.
Officers noticed that Romeo Montillano, who was suspected in a Dec. 8 Kmart robbery, had signed up to take the February exam. He was arrested when he arrived at a police station in Chula Vista, Calif., for the test, police spokesman Bernard Gonzales told the AP.
The 40-year-old was arrested on charges of grand theft, robbery and making criminal threats, according to the AP.
Upon being taken into custody, Montillano asked if he would still be able to take the exam, Gonzales told the AP.
