And He Has Experience

A man approached a bank teller in Beavercreek, Ohio, and asked her to call for medics. She did. Then he handed her something which revealed why he was so stressed: a note demanding money — he was robbing the bank. Paramedics apparently arrived before the police did, and came in to check him — and he continued to try to obtain money from the teller. Robert Strank, 39, who has a record of previous robbery convictions, was jailed for attempted robbery. (RC/WDTN Dayton) ...The good news is, he got $2,000 from the heist. The bad news is, that didn’t quite cover the paramedics’ bill.
