(CBS/AP) ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - An Albuquerque who admits he was fed up with his bank went on a rampage breaking doors and windows at his Bank of America branch, then called the cops to come get him, according to police.

KOAT-TV reports that Charles Scribner reported his crime last week shortly after going on a violent tear at the bank in southeast Albuquerque.

According to the police report, Scribner told police Bank of America had "sold him out" and he became enraged. Scribner admitted he broke out the front doors, shattered a window next to

the inner doors and smashed an upper window.

Authorities say Scribner told a 911 operator to have police come arrest him because he didn't want to have to keep breaking windows.

He was charged with criminal damage.

No details were provided as to how Scribner believes the bank "sold him out."

by SantaFean November 15, 2012 11:01 AM EST: Bank of America is a continuing criminal enterprise. Do you need a refresher list? This bank needs to be broken up, specifically so that customer funds are not at risk as they are now. Didn't know that? Look at MF Global and the FDIC insurance expiring. Learn what the banks fear you to know....
Scribner is my hero! Yep, I support his actions as BofA only "works" with customers in two ways, exploiting them (hidden fees, fraud and forgery in foreclosures, LIBOR manipulation, etc. ) or being on the defense for their crimes against their customers. Customer service is a joke. Also a joke are the fat guards they have at their banks now, NOT for fighting bad guys but to intimidate their own customers!; Reply to this comment
