| Leprechaun and Accomplice Shot Dead While Robbing Tennessee Bank |
| 2010-03-17 |
| Police say two bank robbery suspects, including one dressed in a green leprechaun costume, have been shot dead after a St. Patrick's Day chase and shootout with police in Tennessee. Begorrah! I thought the wee men could do as they pleased on Paddy's Day... Sgt. Bill Storment said First State Bank in the Nashville suburb of Gallatin was held up by a costumed man at 12:28 p.m. Wednesday, and the suspects fired at police during a car chase. A news release said the two ran into a field and died when they exchanged fire with officers. Well saints be praised...rosebud. Sharon Riehemann, manager of the Fifth Third Bank next door, told The Associated Press that she saw a man in a green top hat, vest and shorts and a fake beard run away from First State Bank with a blue bag in his hands. She said he had just been in her bank but left without speaking. Got 'em right in the Lucky Charms. |

| #7 Why would a leprechaun need to rob a bank? Couldn't he just help himself to a few gold coins from the pot at the End of the Rainbow? They left this one in charge and now the pot's empty you say! Makes sense. |

| #6 The 5th/3rd bank is next door to Deacons estate. They ran out of the bank yelling, "Look Ma, I'm on top of the world!" And then 1sgt Deacon yelled,"Commence firing!" and by the time the black powder smoke settled we were drinking Yinling, moonshine, eating some fine BBQ, and singing with our friends from Alaska over a bonfire! All in all an easy days work! |

| #5 We were in Nashville last week, and saw the leprechaun at the bar, but he was well behaved. He was listening to country music and was quite docile. |

| #1 Supposedly there was a third accomplice, also dressed in a leprechaun costume. He was found in the back yard of a nearby residence. Police report that the suspect gave his name as "Paddy O' Fernycheer". |
