Would-Be Bank Robber Leaves Empty-Handed, But Leaves Photo ID Behind
Dwyer told The Detroit News that the woman filled out an account application Thursday morning, then pulled a handgun and demanded cash. But she panicked and fled without getting any money. Police found an address on the account application, along with her photo ID.
The address was for an apartment near the bank. The manager gave her new address to police, who arrested her without incident.
Police had no records Thursday indicating whether the woman had an attorney.
