Mid-Daily Items: Bank robber was an unhappy customer



A bank robber in York, Pa., threatened to file a complaint with bank management because the tellers’ cash drawers were empty when he attempted to hold them up.

Springettsbury Township Police Lt. Scott Laird says the tellers were waiting for their cash drawers to be filled when a man entered a Susquehanna Bank branch Thursday morning and demanded money. The first teller fainted and the next two showed him their empty cash drawers.

Laird says the robber then threatened to file a complaint with bank management before leaving.

A customer at the drive-through called 911. A 48-year-old Windsor Township man was arrested about 10 blocks away and was held in the York County Prison in lieu of $25,000 bail. He is charged with criminal attempt to commit robbery.

— Remember our Mid-Daily Items tip last week: Always keep some duct tape around.

Well, workers cutting a 45-foot evergreen to be displayed as Milwaukee’s city/county Christmas tree needed some tape this week aftter they took a little too much off the top.

Yolanda Alvarez donated the tree from her yard in the Bay View neighborhood and was watching as the crew cut it Thursday, then lifted it with ropes and a crane and tried to lower it onto a flatbed to be moved downtown.

“It was just almost on the ground and ‘crack!’” she said.

The 8-foot section at the top had snapped right off.

But in the end, all was well.

The crew drilled holes in the sections of trunk, put in a metal pipe and put the tree back together with some duct tape.

It’s expected to be in fine shape for the tree lighting ceremony Nov. 20 in Red Arrow Park.
