Yet Another Criminal Mastermind Apprehended
EFL hattip to WNDA robber who hit two Miami banks Wednesday blamed his crimes on homely looks and body odor, police said. But it was sore feet that did him in. I think the county has a luxirious spa After shuffling out of his second bank heist in 20 minutes, police said Daniel Gallagher stopped to rest his weary soles. So he plopped down on a grassy swale â within sight of a police officer quizzing a witness. If you must hide in plain sight, at least change your shirt or something - hasnât this guy seen Cops. ââHis feet were tired,ââ said Detective Delrish Moss, a police spokesman. ``Heâs a bank robber. I didnât say he was brilliant.ââ Gallagherâs short-lived career as a holdup man began about 10:30 a.m., when he walked seven blocks from his apartment at 1210 NE First Ave. to the Citibank at 1790 Biscayne Blvd. Police say Gallagher threatened to detonate a bomb unless the teller handed over $100. His ââexplosive,ââ police later learned: a cold can of Miller beer in a bag. The bomb threat might have been accurate depending on his diet. He probably breakfasted on three microwaved nachos from the 7-11. The teller handed over the cash and triggered a silent alarm. before her gag reflex incapcitated her. ââHeâs leaving as the officers arrive, and figures theyâre busy and wonât notice him,ââ Moss said. He walked down the block to the TotalBank. Same beer can. Another hundred bucks. Looks like he was correct about the police being too busy to prevent stage two of his crime spree. Gallagher then ambled about 100 feet and sat down, Moss said. Standing outside the Citibank: Officer Rayford Shipman, asking a witness for a description. âAnd she looks over and says, `There he his!â ââ Moss said. Shipman walked up to Gallagher and placed him in custody. cuffing him and making him sit in the back of his buddyâs car. At headquarters, Gallagher revealed his motive. âHe said, `Iâm ugly and I smell bad, so I canât get a job,â ââ Moss said. â `I gotta get money somehow.ââ Heâs the victim.
