Poodle Bandit caught!

« Laelaps in the Sky with Diamonds | Main | A case that could have established new legal doctrines regarding dogs… »

The crime spree of the armed man who robbed six banks in California’s Central Valley wearing a curly grey Poodle wig is over.

Witnesses recognized him running from his sixth bank robbery wearing the Poodle wig. After a short car chase he was caught by the police in about 20 minutes.

Apparently he figured he should stay with the same distinctive fashion statement that had served him so well in the previous five robberies.

Belko Yovanovich, 52, of Somerset, California was indicted on six counts of bank robbery. He faces a maximum prison sentence of 25 years for each count.

That’s 1050 years in Poodle years. More
