Today's Idiot
 ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A 34-year-old man is in custody after authorities say he gave a teller his account number and showed her his picture ID before robbing an Anchorage bank. The FBI says Jarell Paul Arnold of Anchorage is being held on federal bank robbery charges. The FBI alleges Arnold walked into an Alaska USA Federal Credit Union branch Friday and inquired about the balance on his account. The teller asked for his name, account number and ID. I needed to know how much money I needed to steal. Authorities say he complied, and then handed over a receipt with a note on the back that said he had a gun and demanded money. Wait a minute! I don't know how that got on there! The FBI says he got away with about $600. Authorities arrested Arnold on Monday. A message left after business hours Wednesday with Arnold's public defender, Michael Dieni, was not immediately returned. Court records say Arnold was sentenced to 57 months in prison for bank robbery in 2004. Posted by: Deacon Blues 2009-08-14 |
