Man dressed as tree robs branch bank
Which would you rather read? Another screed about toll roads, or this?
According to police, a man with tree branches duct-taped to his head and torso walked into a Citizens Bank just as it opened Saturday morning and demanded cash from a teller. Police said the disguise was the most bizarre they'd ever seen.
"He really went out on a limb," Sgt. Ernie Goodno said Sunday.
Sgt Goodno thinks he a comedian, eh? Better keep your day job, flatfoot.
The robber, who showed no weapon, fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. Though the branches and leaves obscured much of the man's face, someone who saw images from the bank's security camera recognized the robber and called police.
James Coldwell, 49, of Manchester, was arrested at his home early Sunday morning. He was expected to be arraigned Monday.
