Someone's in there. >> Copy that. >> So, I watched him. He walked out, and I walked outside, and he kept looking back at me. Then he walked down to the road and over and crossed the street, went down towards Walgreens. >> It's going to be a black male, all black, wearing no gloves. They believe he does have a balding head. >> Well, that's why I saw the big patch of woods.

That money may have been enough to put some distance between him and the bank, perhaps even enough to disappear for a while. Instead, it earned him an aggravated robbery charge, a $50,000 bond, and a potential prison sentence of up to 11 years if convicted. And as if that weren't ironic enough, he later asked officers to deposit the stolen cash into his jail commissary account. YouTube thinks you'll love the video on screen. Click to watch now.
