MISSION VIEJO, Calif.—Cyndi Orel worked as a police officer for 25 years and never caught a bank robber. She was apparently saving that hobby for retirement.

The retired Long Beach police officer foiled a bank robbery at a grocery store Saturday when she put a 220-pound bank robber in a chokehold until he passed out. Orel is about 5 feet 7 inches and 128 pounds

Deputies arrested Tony Fennell, 52, of Las Vegas, who they believe committed eight to 10 bank robberies,

By the age of 52 you would think that this man would have found productive work.

The guy needs to grow up.

OK Bubba, tell us one more time, exactly did you get busted?

It was inside an Albertson’s. They don’t say what bank branch it was.

Most likely a career criminal.

Now they’re going to bust her for excessive force.

don’t know how it is there, but up here most of our supermarkets have small business located across the front such as a bank branch, potrait studio, shoe repair, eyeglass shop, camera shop, western union, etc.

“I’m stuned.”

Really, I find that I am ‘stunned.’

I'm guessing the average congresscritter is older than this and still haven't found productive work.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

The “journalist” wasn’t making that clear which is why I was so stuned.

I guess criminality runs deep.

Some never find their way to break free of it;)
