Texas Police Arrest Oldest Bank Robber
Texas police say they have arrested a 90-yeard-old man, Henry Robert, who is accused of robbing a bank, probably making him the oldest bank robber in U.S. history.
Police said Robert, who was not armed, asked a teller 1 to put money into a large envelope with the word “robbery” written on it. A witness took down on the license 2 number of his car, and he was arrested on a highway about 15 miles outside the city.
If he is proved guilty, Robert will face from ten to twenty years in prison. He told police he needed the money, and he had a complaint against banks.
Robert left a prison in Florida, where he was the oldest prisoner in the state, about a year ago. Before that, he served a three-year sentence for a bank robbery in Florida in 1999.
In a prison interview with a journalist, Robert said he had been a businessman in Texas but had fallen on hard times. He said he robbed his first bank when he was about 80 because he wanted to revenge against banks.
“A bank that I’d done business with had forced me into bankruptcy 3. I have never liked banks since,” he told the journalist.” I decided 4 I would get even. And I have.”
