Bank robber used his own check to write note, FBI says
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — A man robbing a bank demanded the money by writing a note on one of his own checks, authorities say.
Not surprisingly, he was caught soon afterward.
Forest Kelly Bissonnette, 27, apparently tried to cover his name on the check, then handed the note to a teller Sept. 5 at the Bank of the West in Englewood, according to authorities.
“We could still make it out even though he blacked it out,” FBI agent Rene VonderHaar said. Nearly $5,000 was taken.
Surveillance video showed a suspect similar to Bissonnette’s description, and a tipster said a man named Forest Kelly claimed he got $5,000 in a bank robbery, according to a federal complaint.
Bissonnette remained in federal custody Tuesday after turning himself in Friday. A public defender was to be appointed for Bissonnette, who doesn’t have a listed phone number.
Papazoo Commentary:
This guy is a moron. He blacked out his name but I wonder if he though of blacking out his account number and routing number. I wonder what was going through his head and did he even consider buying an 89 cent notebook from walmart? This guy deserved to be caught.
