Bank Robber Demands Cash With Note Written On Personal Check

Posted: 7:54 am EDT July 22, 2008

Ocala police said a bank robber made it easy for them to track him down because he left his own personal check behind.

Police said Patrick Johnson gave a teller a note demanding money at a Bank of America on 34th Street, but the note was written on the back of one of Johnson's personal checks.

Johnson then took off in a cab. He was arrested a few blocks away.
