Bearded Man Robs Bank, Gifts Money, Then Yells 'Merry Christmas'
A white-bearded man robbed a bank two days before Christmas then threw the money in the air and enthusiasti- cally wished passers-by a merry Christmas, witnesses have said.
Police said "an older white male" robbed the Academy Bank in Colorado Springs on Monday lunchtime.
"He robbed the bank, came out, threw the money all over the place," witness Dion Pascale told Colorado's 11 News.
"He started throw- ing money out of the bag and then said, 'Merry Christmas!'"
Witnesses said the hirsute sus- pect then wan- dered over to a nearby Starbucks coffee shop, sat
down in front of it, and waited to be arrested.
In a particularly festive gesture, the passers-by are reported to have scooped up all the money from the street and taken it back inside the bank.
Colorado Springs police named the suspect as David Wayne Oliver, 65. He is not believed to have had any little helpers.
Man Caught Pooping In Aisle of SanFranciscoSafeway
by: Erica Pieschke, Noelle Bellow
SAN FRANCIS- CO (KRON) – The city of San Francisco is tak- ing action to clean up the streets but what about the grocery stores?
Shoppers at a Safeway in the Marina District got a disturbing surprise over the weekend.
Mike, a San Francisco resi- dent, was at the Safeway when he spotted a man pooping in one of the aisles.
An opened pack- age of toilet paper is seen in the photos sitting near the man.
Mike told KRON4 he saw the man go into a nearby Starbucks when he was finished.
KRON4 has reached out to Safeway for a statement, but have not yet heard back.
This story comes as San Francisco
deals with a growing amount of human waste complains.
San Francisco even has a poop patrol, staff mem- bers who clean up human waste around the city.
Throughout the city, 311 has received more than 25,000 poop complaints this year alone, with the Tenderloin getting the high- est number of calls.
Last month, San Francisco Supervisor Matt Haney called the city’s poop prob- lem a national embarrassment.
“This is a nation- al embarrass- ment, it is also many communi- ties a disgusting, public health cri- sis, no one should be able to walk about and see poop smeared all over the place, no one should live in these conditions. It is not funny,” Haney said.
Since then, the city has increased fre- quency of power washing in trou- ble areas and has opened more public toilets.
But many believe more needs to be done.
