Man Armed With Cookie Attempts Tulsa Bank Robbery

The man did not say anything but handed a note to the teller asking for money for the homeless.

TULSA, OK -- A man attempted robbery of the BOk branch at 6505 E. 101st St. armed with a cookie and a note for the teller, according to Sgt. Dave Walker of the Tulsa Police Department.

At about 5:40 p.m. Friday, the man entered the bank eating a cookie. He walked to a teller window and presented a note that read "give me 6---$ for beer for the homeless."

"The teller who took the note was shaken up," Walker said. "She said she just handed the note back, said 'no,' and he left."

The suspect, Walker called "the cookie crumbler," ran from the bank after the teller refused to give him any money. He had been seen three hours prior to the event walking along the drive thru aisle smoking a cigarette and waving at the tellers.

1. Watch it! I've got a cookie and I know how to use it!

Perhaps he lost a bet or something?

17. Quick, someone alert iverglas and sharesunited

so they can propose outlawing cookies, assault donuts, and automatic twinkies.

but I am an unabashed, unashamed cookie grabber myself

12. Beer for the homeless?

Sounds like the absolute last thing homeless people need is to be drinking more.

[a la izquierda]

13. Kind of sad, actually.

People don't seem to like the homeless here in "Christian" Oklahoma. I could have sworn they passed an ordinance prohibiting people from giving homeless folks money in Oklahoma City.
ETA: It's actually a law against "aggressive panhandling". Who knows what the hell that means.
