DESTIN, Fla. (AP) — Investigators knew a man accused of stealing $6,000 from a Florida Panhandle bank didn’t stuff the cash in his wallet. That’s because he somehow left it there, making it easy for authorities to find him.
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office says the 26-year-old robber brandished a handgun at Destin’s Union State Bank on Thursday, ordering the employees to the floor. Deputies say he fled with $6,000.
While investigators searched the bank, a witness found a wallet nearby. Investigators showed the ID photo to bank employees, who thought it might be the robber.
Deputies searched the man’s house and say they found cash and a gun that appeared to be the one used by the robber.

Posted on October 31, 2010 at 2:08amAs far as dumb criminal stories go, this one isn’t even close to one I read about a few year back. It seems there was a man who once robbed a bank by writing a hold up note on the back of one of his own personal checks.http://m.firstcoastnews.com/news.jsp?key=121499&rc=su
Sometimes ID doesn’t help. In my neck of the woods (Upstate NY) a woman’s body was found on the shores of Otisco Lake in 1975, close by the police found the business card of a man named Donald Sigsbee. He became an immediate suspect but the cops were unable to get anything definite on him until 28 years later. Sometimes it takes DNA to convict even stupid criminals.

Posted on October 30, 2010 at 9:24pmI read an earlier posting that the DOJ is sending observers to some 300 sights to make sure that there are no problems with voter fraud, and yet several are sent to Arizona (Maricopa County) to make sure there will be no denial of anyone voting; this in spite of the fact it is illegal for anyone of non citizen status to vote…guess they are trying the crook part of hook/crook to steal the elections.

Now this is just the kind of vicious lies Republicans like to tell. Make no mistake, It’s not to to make sure that there are no problems with voter fraud. It’s to make sure there are no problems with fraud voters. Rest assured, Eric and the King are on the case. Robert Fibbs will have more to say on this after the selection er ahhh… I mean election.

Posted on October 31, 2010 at 3:25pmWe recently had a guy rob a bank and he had a taxi waiting for him outside. The driver got suspicous and called police. The robber ran into one of the stores in the shopping complex and the owners called the cops because he was ‘acting strange’. The officer later commented it was one of the easiest bank heist arrests he’d ever witnessed.
