The Cellphone Bandit
You know, I get annoyed by people chatting away loudly on cellphones. But it has to take the ticket to be robbed in a bank by someone jabbering away on a cellphone. I mean seriously, have some respect – you’re robbing someone/something! At least concentrate.
As Loudon County sherrif’s spokeman Kraig Troxell puts it:
“This is the first time that I can recall where we’ve had a crime committed while the person was using a cell phone. The question would be whether anyone is on the other end of the line or not.”
The cellphone bandit first struck in Vienna on Oct. 12. A woman in her twenties with dark hair, about 5 feet 2 to 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 120 to 130 pounds, walked in carrying a box and talking on a cell phone. She moved directly to the teller counter and displayed the shoebox-size box, which had a note taped on it demanding cash. Police would not disclose the wording of the note.
