Man Robs Bank with Bible

A bank robber handed a teller a Bible and told her to turn to a particular page. There was written a note telling her to give him cash or he'd shoot and kill her.

The suspect took the money, told the teller he was leaving town, and said he would pay her back later. He then walked out of the bank.

Detectives are asking for the public's help in identifying the suspect. He is described as being a black male, 35 to 40 years old, 5-foot-9 to 6 feet tall, with a medium build.

During the robbery he wore sunglasses, a red and white striped knit hat, and a dark jacket.

Witnesses described the suspect as speaking with a Caribbean-type accent.

I wish I knew what page the teller was ordered to turn to. I wonder if it was Proverbs 6:30, "Men do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving."
