A 78-year-old woman with two past bank robbery convictions was arrested again for a third heist in Missouri, police said.
Bonnie Gooch walked into Goppert Financial Bank and allegedly handed a note to the teller demanding thousands in cash.
She also left a note saying "Thank you sorry I didn't mean to scare you", before driving off with the cash.
Gooch now sits in jail with a bond amount of $25,000 (£20,129).
Wearing a black N95 mask, black sunglasses and plastic gloves, she entered the bank on 5 April and slipped the teller a note that said, "I need 13,000 small bills", according to court documents obtained by the Kansas City Star.
Surveillance video shows Gooch at one point banging on the counter, mandating a speedier delivery of the cash, prosecutors said, before leaving in her Buick Enclave with its handicap registration displayed.
Pleasant Hill Missouri Police Department officers responded to calls of a "robbery in progress" at around 15:20 local time (21:20 BST) and found Gooch in her vehicle smelling strongly of alcohol, and cash strewn across the floor, prosecutors said.
Gooch was arrested and charged with one count of stealing or attempting to steal from a financial institution.
"When officers first approached her, they were kind of confused ... It's a little old lady who steps out," Pleasant Hill Police Chief Tommy Wright told the Kansas City Star. "We weren't sure initially that we had the right person."
However, this is not Gooch's first run in with the law.
She also has two other convictions. One for a robbery in California in 1977, and the other for a bank robbery in 2020, where she reportedly handed the teller a birthday card that had "this is a robbery" written into it.

Attention freak?
“[She] slipped the teller a note that said, “I need 13,000 small bills”, according to court documents obtained by the Kansas City Star.”
Does that constitute a “Robbery”?
Pretty spunky for 78!!!!
“Okay, well ma'am, you're going to need to be more specific. Do you want it in ones, fives, tens or twenties? And I'm not even sure if a twenty is considered a small bill. Well, I suppose today it is as it will barely cover the cost of a couple of coffees. Hold on, I'll go ask my manager and you can figure out how you want the 13,000 small bills to be divvied out.”
“I have a gub!”
How come we get her note word for word but not the nut job tranny’s manifesto?
Protected class - even when it comes to mass-murder.
That’s liberalism.
“uh-huh. Would you like any 5s with that?”
Perhaps she has a medical condition and needs to get into prison for the medical care.
