DESPERATE DAD ROBS WACHOVIA BANK BRANCH
The FBI Bank Robbery Task Force needs the public’s assistance in identifying the “Desperate Dad” who robbed the Wachovia Bank branch, address 4906 San Felipe, Houston, Texas, on 03/06/2007. Bank surveillance captured a short video of the entire robbery. At approximately 12:37PM, the armed robber entered the bank and was greeted by three employees working in the lobby. As the robber walked quickly towards the counter, he pulled out a small chrome pistol from a navy blue zippered bag he was carrying. The robber repeatedly told the tellers all he needed was a thousand dollars. He explained “I just lost my job and I have a small baby at home. I don’t care if I go to jail.” The robber was very nervous and visibly shaking during the robbery. He held the zippered bag up to one of the tellers and she placed the money inside the bag. The robber then ran out of the bank in a hurry. No one was hurt. No getaway vehicle was seen.
The subject is described as a white male, approximately 23-24 years old, about 5’6”- 5’7” tall, weighing approximately 150-160 pounds with a pale complexion and a skinny build. He had short blonde hair, no facial hair and wore a white tee-shirt with an open grey sweat jacket over it. He also wore large, dark sunglasses to hide his appearance. He carried a navy blue leather bag with a zipper and a small chrome pistol.
