Black White Or Other?!? - The Cassanova Bandit.

Stereotypes are a way of life in America. We feed into them so readily that they take on a life of their own. But just how well do you really know your racial stereotypes?

Black, White, Or Other? lists a particularly heinous crime/news story, with incriminating bits of info omitted for the sake of confidentiality. Your job is to guess whether the protagonist is black, white, or the omnipresent "other", and to tell why you guessed how you did. The best guessplanation wins a week's supply of Cyber CapriSuns. And yeah, you could prolly Google the news story to find out the race of the person, but what sorta loser does that? Seriously. And if you already know about the story, and thus the answer, sit this one out. Be a good sport. Don't cheat.

Anyways, here's today's entry...
A robbery suspect was arrested when he returned to the scene of the crime to ask the victim out on a date, police said.

[redacted] police allege that [redacted], 20, was among three men who robbed a couple late Sunday.

Sgt. [redacted] said the woman recognized [redacted] as one of the robbers when he returned to ask her out about two hours later. She had a relative call 911.

Police said [redacted] was arrested in front of the home. He was arraigned Tuesday on a charge of aggravated robbery and was being held in the [redacted] County jail on $100,000 bail.
Question: Is the Cassanova Bandit in this story Black, White, or Other? Why?
