'Michael Moore Bandit' Hits Monroe Bank Man Wanted For Two Robberies In Westland

Authorities in Monroe are searching for a man known as the "Michael Moore bandit."

The man, who police say earned the nickname because of his resemblance to the filmmaker, is wanted in the armed robbery of a Standard Federal Bank at about 9:20 a.m. on Saturday.

Police said the man entered the bank at 602 Monroe Avenue and implied that he had a weapon. An undetermined amount of cash was taken in the robbery.

The man was last seen walking south from the bank.

He's described as white, in his 40s, 6 feet tall, with a beard and wearing a plaid shirt and a baseball cap.

Police said the man is also wanted for two robberies in Westland and for a robbery in Carleton, Mich.

Anyone with information that may lead to an arrest is asked to call the Monroe Police Department at (734) 243-7503.

Hehehehehehehehehehehehe........... Too nice.

Go to Torch Lake, MI and arrest Moore.

[Zeppelin]

Guess this is his backup plan, since nobody cares to watch his films anymore.

Oh this is rich!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[tiamat]

So how do they know it ISN'T Mikey?

[pissant]

That's a huge slander against any bank robber to compare him to M. Moore.

The man was last seen walking south from the bank.

Well, you knew he wouldn't be running!

[Dog]

Ok where is Mikey?

[Callahan]

I would guess that he needs the money to pay for plastic surgery and a gastric bypass.

[Callahan]

Who was that masked fat slob?!?!?!?

[Grampa Dave]

This bum is 200 pounds lighter (at a minimum) than Mikey!

[ErnBatavia]

He's described as white, in his 40s, 6 feet tall, with a beard and wearing a plaid shirt and a baseball cap. ...and weighing 478 pounds.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Michigan is overrun with guys who look like Moore!
A beard, parka, flannel shirt, ball cap and boots
is the state uniform!

[melbell]

This guy isn't nearly as fat as Michael Moron...he's also not as much of a criminal!

[reagan_fanatic]

Naaahh, it's not Moore. If he were to rob anything, it would be a McDonalds (and even then, it wouldn't be the money he'd be after.)

[Dan from Michigan]

Torch Lake......Moore's there. Must be a ghetto....much like that whole area on Grand Traverse Bay. /sarcasm

[sticker]

He's robbing banks NOT food places

You're right. You know those exit door height scales they mount at banks and convenience stores? They should turn them horizontally for the MM bandit. :)

Janeane Garofalo has really let herself go.
