Perhaps he just needed some money to pay his tab.
The Pasco County Sheriff's Office says a man robbed a bank in between trips to a bar.
Deputies say they got a call around 1:42 Thursday afternoon of a man robbing the Wells Fargo Bank located at 8994 State Road 52. About 10 minutes later, they encountered a man who fit the robber's description a few doors down at the Hayloft Bar.
A bartender told deputies the man ordered a beer, disappeared for about 30 minutes, and then returned to his drink.
Deputies arrested 52-year-old John Robin Whittle on one count of robbery.
Beer-alibi fail.
Maybe he thought everyone is doing it so therefore it’s OK and Eric Holder will sue states that try to enforce the law.
A variation of “Hold muh beer”?
I guess he needed money to buy the beer. I believe he thought that’s how the ATM works.
“It’s All About the Beer”
Maybe it was Beer Goggles Night and he was looking to score!
There was a bear that walked into a bar in Billings , Montana and slammed his paw on the bar and demanded, I want a beer.
The bartender looked the bear squarely in the eye and said, Im sorry but we dont serve beer to bears in Billings .
The bear growled angrily and again demanded a beer.
The bartender again stated, We dont serve beer to belligerent bears in Billings .
The bear roared and said, If you dont give me a beer I am going to eat that woman at the end of the bar.
In frustration the bartender again stated, We do not serve beer to belligerent bear5s in Billings .
The bear then got up and went to the end of the bar and ate the woman. After he was done he again demanded a beer.
The bartender stated clearly again, WE DO NOT SERVE BEER TO BELLIGERENT BEARS IN BILLINGS ON DRUGS.
The bear said, Im not on drugs.
The bartender said, You are now. That was a bar-bitch-u-ate.
Hard to believe, if he was gonna "hide" in a public place only a few doors away from the bank, that he wouldn't have disguised himself better -- mask, clothes, all that.
OTOH, he's pretty identifiable:
There is a mistake: the middle name is 'Wayne'.
Rockin’ Robin knows his priorities.
I happen to know that they serve bears in Billings....if they’re over 21.
Boy hadda finance his beer, hadn’t he?
Key to the plan however is having your brief absence at the time of the robbery not be noticed by anybody at the bar. Also, it is important not to return to the bar and suddenly start laying down fresh $100 bills. Keep your drinking money separate from the bank money.
