My uncle, the same one I refer to in the murder post robbed a bank some 15 years ago. He had a get away driver and they drove up to the bank. He walked in and put a note on the counter saying their was a bomb in the bank and he would blow them all up if she didn't get money for him. She didn't even call the cops as he was walking out. She was genuinely terrified. They got away clean with several thousand dollars. I was 4 my family was poor living in the trailer at the time. I always think it's funny looking back because we went out to IHOP with the money. This was like a huge deal because we were so poor, but I just think IHOP itself is such a white trash place to go after you just robbed a bank haha.
Anyway, the getaway driver was a junkie and kept asking for more money. Someone gave my uncle's name to the pigs. It's generally believed that this dude was the guy. During court the teller said it was her daughter's birthday and the robbery caused extreme emotional stress. My uncle was sentenced to 10 years but got out after 5 years for good behavior. I don't know if he was fucked up before or if prison fucked him up but he's fucked now. He lived with us until recently when he was getting drunk and trying to be all alpha male to me. One night I responded with a dumbell in my hand ready to swing it letting him know he better get the fuck out of this house. He's an alcoholic who beats his girlfriend now.
