Big deal, it was only a Bank.
Did you hear about the Robbery at 730 Washington Ave.?
I hear they got over $100,000!
Be on the look out for a skinny white middle aged guy with short black/grey hair. Likes to dress in suits and ties – goes by the name John.
Think I’ve seen his picture on a poster somewhere also, some nut carry’s it around, it’s got horns and flames from Hell – it’s called Dickert-Devil, or something like that.

“Unofficially and Unconfirmed”, It appears our Chase Bank Robber is in custody and being held on $50,300 bond at RCJ. Same name, same age, charges right now at the RCJ are armed robbery by the use or threat of force, poss. of drug para, poss. of cocaine, and was arrested the same day… Excellent job RPD!

I would also like to say nice going to the guy who called in and told the police the guys name and address, and all the info the RPD needed. The “unintentional accomplice” who reported the dude should get props too.

Yeah he should too, if he was really an unwilling participant, guess we will have to wait and see what PD says (sounded like it from radio reports)
