California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Penaloza, B304714 (Cal. App. 2021):
[Penaloza] went into the bathroom during this crime was because, when [Paniagua] handed the bag to [these] people, that [he] knew how these guys were going to react when they found the money wasn't there[.]' [Penaloza] testified that he went to the bathroom simply because he had to urinate."
