One half of 'Dumb and Dumber' duo freed from US jail
Dumb and dumber ... Luke Carroll and Anthony Prince .
THEY were dubbed Dumb and Dumber for their bungling robbery attempt on a bank in the US state of Colorado.Now, after almost four years in jail, one of them, Anthony Prince, 23, has been freed from a Pennsylvania jail - and deported. His sidekick, Luke Carroll, 23, will remain behind bars until the end of July.
The pair shot to worldwide notoriety in 2005 when, on a working holiday in the luxury ski resort of Vail, Colorado, they attempted to rob a bank wearing balaclavas and brandishing air pistols.
They made their getaway on snowboards and went straight to McDonald's to take "gangsta"-style photographs of themselves with their $US130,000 cash haul but were captured a day later as they prepared to take a one-way flight to Mexico.
Their bungles began when they chose their regular bank, did not hide their Australian accents and forgot to remove the name tags from the local sports store where they worked.When they faced court, Prince said: "I'm ashamed of my behaviour. I don't deserve forgiveness." Carroll said: "No amount of money is worth the embarrassment and shame I have caused. It's a life sentence I have imposed on myself."
