Somebody didn't learn his lesson

There was a phrase my mom used to use to describe people who couldn't stay out of trouble—"born to hang." I think that describes this guy fairly well:
A 22-year-old man was back behind bars about 12 hours after he was released from jail, accused of stealing a car and beer and leading police on a high-speed chase.

Darren E. Roberts was released from the Sullivan County Jail Tuesday afternoon after competing his sentence for auto theft.

But Indiana State Police say that early Wednesday morning, Roberts stole a 2004 red Ford Mustang in Linton, then drove to a gas station in Cloverdale where he allegedly stole some beer and fled.
The cops eventually caught him again after a high speed chase, and he's back behind bars. Which is good for everyone involved, I guess. The cops got their man, the public doesn't have to worry about him stealing their cars, and Roberts is back in jail, a place which he seems to have terribly missed during his twelve hours on the outside.
