Authorities say a Tampa Bay area man ordered a beer at a bar, left to rob a nearby bank then came back to finish the beer.
The Pasco County Sheriff's Office says 52-year-old John Robin Whittle was arrested at the Hayloft Bar in Port Richey on Thursday afternoon.
Deputies say he's the man who robbed a Wells Fargo & Co. bank branch earlier and walked off with an undisclosed sum of money.
But first he stopped off at the Hayloft for a brew.
A bartender there says Whittle ordered a beer, disappeared for about 30 minutes and then returned to his beer.
Deputies say they arrested him at the bar about 10 minutes after he left the bank.
Whittle remained in jail early Friday on $10,000 bond. No attorney was listed for him.
Damn homie, this dude is either an idiot when it comes to alibis, or a man who appreciates a good beer. I mean come on dude, if you're trying to use the bar as an alibi, ordering a brew and then robbing the bank ain't gonna work buddy.
That being said, I applaud this bros loyalty to his brew. It might only be noon on Friday, but in honor of John Whittle, it's brew time.
