Really Stupid Criminal of the Day
PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (AP) — A man was arrested for robbing a bank after he returned to take down the note demanding money he had left taped to a drive-through window.
Eugene D. Golden, 36, of Briarwood was charged with nonaggravated robbery.
Police say a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a baseball cap walked up to the drive-through at Community Bank (search) about 5:50 p.m. Wednesday and taped a note to the window indicating an explosive device would be detonated if tellers did not give him cash.
Bank employees handed over $21,066, said Parkersburg Police Chief Robert Newell. The man then fled in a green vehicle with a cardboard sign reading "lost tag" over the license plate and duct tape over the make of the vehicle.
The man drove to Emerson Bowling Lanes (search) nearby, changed clothes in his car, then walked back to the bank to retrieve the note. He stuffed it in his pocket.
A police officer saw him take the note down and told him to stop. The man ran back to his car and was captured as he was getting in. Police found a brown bag full of money in Golden's car, along with clothing matching the description of what the robber was wearing.
Golden was being held Thursday in the North Central Regional Jail on a $50,000 bond.
