“I Was Desperate”: Alleged Girl Scout Cookie Thief Says He Stole Cash to Feed Heroin Habit: Jailhouse Interview

The man accused of robbing cookie-selling Girl Scouts of their profits told NBC Bay Area in an exclusive jailhouse interview with reporter Bob Redell on Monday that he ripped off the 10-year-old girls to feed his heroin habit. “I definitely feel bad about it,” Cody Phillip Gintz, 23, said from behind bars at a San Jose jail. “I would definitely tell them I’m sorry.” He said he’s got a little sister who was once a Girl Scout.
