$1 bank robber in Pennsylvania gets his wish, goes to jail
A close-up of the reverse of the US-dollar bill is seen on December 7, 2010 in Washington, DC.
Jeffery M. McMullen wanted so badly inside prison that he tried to rob a Pennsylvania bank — of $1.
McMullen walked into the AmeriServ in Northern Cambria about 1:30 p.m. on Friday and handed a note to a bank teller demanding a single bank note, The Tribune-Democrat reported.
“He told her he would wait until police arrived,” police Sgt. Isaac Hassen told the newspaper.
The 50-year-old alleged robber even had a prison in mind, but he didn’t want his story caught in the press.
Another note said: “FBI custody. Preferbly (sic) Loretto Pa. No press. Seal all files,” the Trib-Dem said.
