And now your Moment of WTF?
Timmy Lee Porter walked into a Midtown bank this month and handed a teller a note scribbled on the back of a bank slip.So he comes from Arkansas and lives in Alaska, have they checked his wrappings? And what's with this US Atty Dan Cooper, is he any relation to DB Cooper? You be the judge.
"This is a bank robbery, place 1 100.00 bill on the counter or I will shoot you."
Police arriving on the scene moments later found that note on the floor. The $100 bill was still in the bank. So was Porter, who had taken a seat on a couch in the bank lobby, apparently waiting to be arrested.
Porter, 41, was initially charged with felony bank robbery, but after reaching a plea agreement with prosecutors, he pleaded guilty in front of a magistrate judge Thursday to a single misdemeanor count of bank larceny. Why Porter held up the bank and then waited to be arrested was unclear.
"Why he did what he did is a mystery," Assistant U.S. Attorney Dan Cooper said.
