[QUOTE="net1, post: 25125"] A 91-year-old Texan has been accused of robbing his third bank in five years. JL Hunter "Red" Rountree is alleged to have held up a branch of First American Bank in Abilene, Texas. He demanded money from a cashier, passing over a large envelope with "ROBBERY" written on it. He left in a car parked near the bank, but a witness got the registration number and police arrested him on his way to Goldthwaite, 110 miles southeast of Abilene. Rountree has been jailed on a charge of bank robbery. Bail has been set at $150,000 (about £93,000). Sgt Mike Perry of the Abilene Police Department said about $2,000 (£1,200) was taken in Tuesday's robbery, all of which was on Rountree when he was arrested. "I don't ever recall us arresting a person this old, nor do I recall hearing of a person this old being arrested for a crime, much less bank robbery," Sgt Perry said. [/QUOTE]
