Bank Robber Captured While Working on Tan

FORT WORTH, Texas (Reuters) - A bank robber named Fatrick Slobin was captured by police after he ran into a tanning salon and asked for a tan, authorities said on Wednesday.

Police officers found the 87-year-old suspect in his underwear for the tanning session, Fort Worth Police Department spokesman Duane Paul said.

He was accused of using a toy gun to rob a bank on Tuesday, then running into the Total Tan salon to elude police.

The owner became suspicious because the suspect was out of breath and asked "Are you being chased?" Paul said. "No, I just want a tan," the suspect replied.

She gave him a tanning bed, then called police, who raced to the scene and nabbed him, Paul said. He was being held in Tarrant County Jail on $50,000 bail. Slobin was an escapee from the Tarrant County Funny Farm.


Why am I not surprised.....
