WEST MIFFLIN, Pa. (March 7) - A 75-year-old Pennsylvania woman accused of robbing a bank with an unloaded pistol was arrested when a tow truck driver blocked her in after a short chase.
Marilyn Divine of Baldwin said after her arrest that she acted "to help people who are starving to death and nobody cares about them."
Police say the robber walked up to a National City Bank inside a supermarket in West Mifflin, located about five miles outside Pittsburgh.
The robber demanded money from two tellers, brandishing a handgun.
A former bank employee chased the woman's car until police took over and arrested her after a short, low-speed chase. Police said they recovered all the stolen money, which totaled about five thousand dollars.
Divine is in the Allegheny County Jail on charges including armed robbery and reckless endangerment.
Will she get Sheehan Status now?
That woman looks like she has a little dementia comin' on down.
