Los Angeles Area Masked Cancer Patient Mistaken For Bank Robber
MONTEBELLO (CBSLA.com) — A man walked into his Wells Fargo Friday with a mask on, but he was no robber. Far from it.
Joe Jaramillo, a cancer patient, had undergone chemotherapy the day before. The surgical mask was to fight germs.
“I felt so embarrassed and humiliated,” said Jaramillo, asked how he felt when he was surrounded by police.
He spoke to KCAL9′s Cristy Fajardo about being confused for a wanted bank robber.
Just doing the mundane tasks, like going to the bank, are a blessing for Jaramillo, 57, and fighting lymphoma.
