Teller: ‘Take off hat’, man: ‘I have gun’

October 6th, 2008, 10:00 am · 3 Comments · posted by John Leptich

When a teller at a Mesa Wells Fargo Bank asked a man to remove his hat and sunglasses as he approached her Saturday afternoon, he told her,  “ this is a robbery. I have a gun.”

At around 3:30 p.m., officers responded to the Wells Fargo at 259 W. First Avenue. The teller told police that she gave the man money from her drawer, which didn’t have any security devices.  The man placed the money in a medium sized black bag with a shoulder strap and left the bank.

An area check for the man and witnesses outside turned up nothing.

The man is described as black, 30 to 40 years old, 5-feet-7-inches,  to 5-11 tall, 180 to 200 pounds with short black hair and a moustache.  He was wearing a dark blue long sleeve shirt with red on the sleeves and white stripes on the sleeves and a large white logo on the front.  He also wore light colored pants and a light colored fishing style hat with a dark band.

    in this day and age, what kind of ignoroid makes such a broad statement about “blacks”? Especially when there are so many who HAVE enhanced civilization!!

    each race and ethnicity has its “drag” factors, including the one who made this statement!
