Ex-Marine Is PA. Town's 'Naked Bandit' Reuters 13-MAY-99 ALLENTOWN, Pa., May 13 (Reuters) - A 41-year-old Allentown man known to police as "The Naked Bandit" pleaded guilty to robbing a string of convenience stores while in the nude, authorities said on Thursday. Ex-Marine Stanley Heiserman once stole $400 from a roadside mini-market while naked, save for the underwear on his head. Days later, two cashiers handed over the money before bursting into laughter as he left. "It's nuts. You don't hear of things like this happening too often. But this is what happened in four separate robberies," said assistant Lehigh County District Attorney James Anthony. Heiserman's naked aggression came to an end on Wednesday when he pleaded guilty to committing six robberies in all, two while fully clothed. Police said he never had a weapon but once claimed to be carrying a shotgun in a gym bag and on another occasion a pistol wrapped in a flannel shirt around his hand. "His logic was that the last time he did some robberies, he had clothes on and was identified by his clothes," said Anthony. Heiserman, who said he was honorably discharged from the Marines, told county judge Robert Steinberg that he turned to crime while on drugs and emotionally distraught about his dying mother. He will be sentenced June 17 and faces a maximum of eight to 40 years in prison under the plea agreement.
