Nathan Wayne Pugh was arrested in July when he tried to take a female customer with a child in her arms hostage, but they fell to the floor during a struggle as officers entered the bank.

Pugh handed a teller a note when the teller asked him how much he wanted to withdraw. The note had this message:

“Look if you don’t want to die then you should do as this note says. This is not a bag of food. This is a bom, so just put money in an envelope and do not make any move till after I have left for ten mintis.”

The calm teller then demanded two pieces of identification from Pugh, according to the documents. Pugh showed her his Wells Fargo debit card and a Texas identification card with his name on it.

2. With criminals like that, why do we have crime?

3. My favorite

is when they write their stickup note on the back of a personalized deposit slip which apparently happens more often than you would think.

5. Poor guy should've used a gub instead

Bank Teller #1: Does this look like "gub" or "gun"?
Bank Teller #2: Gun. See? But what does "abt" mean?
Virgil: It's "act". A-C-T. Act natural. Please put fifty thousand dollars into this bag and act natural.
Bank Teller #1: Oh, I see. This is a holdup?
