Tiny Man Robs Bank
This past Saturday, the local bank in the town of Chocoville was robbed by known tiny man, Albert Buxaplenty.
Charlie White, a bank teller that was working at the time of the robbery, says "When he first entered the bank, we all thought it was a kid that had gotten lost and wandered into the bank for help. We soon realized that this was no kid once he had started yelling "Give me the money!" and things like that."
According to White, the man had caused quite a ruckus when he started screaming about money, and claimed that he had a gun. It was later found out that Buxaplentys 'gun' was actually just a finger gun that he was concealing in his pocket.
Nobody even attempted to stop him from robbing the bank, due to the fear of him having a deadly weapon with him. So Albert managed to fill his pockets with money from the bank. "Filling his pockets" means that Albert was able to stuff thirty dollars into his pockets and dash.
The police were immediately notified once Albert fled from the bank.
It took police only one hour to track down Buxaplenty. His very specific description made it easy to distinguish him from other civilians on the street, and he hadn't made it too far since he was fleeing on foot.
After his capture, Albert immediately broke down in tears, claiming that he "Didn't know what to do, and he needed the money to buy smokes."
After Albert was calmed down, he returned the money and explained his situation to the police.
"I guess I just broke down." Says Buxaplenty "I've been broke for a couple of months now and I thought I could stage a perfect robbery. It wasn't even about the smokes really, it's just been hard having no money. I feel really bad about it now, and I hope I didn't really scare anyone."
The bank has decided to let Albert off with a warning, but he has been banned from entering the bank again for the time being.
