Conveniently Located Next To A Bank

The Dallas Morning News is reporting on the case of Michael Adair Mankin. Fort Worth police responded to an alarm from the National Bank of Texas on N.E. 28th Street. A man had come in to the bank and handed the teller a note demanding money. When the police got to the bank, a witness said that they saw the suspected bank robber running toward the Classic Inn across the street from the bank. So the police drove into the motel's parking lot. There they saw Mr. Mankin coming out of a motel room, and they arrested him. Alledgedly, Mr. Mankin had robbed the bank across the street from the motel he was staying at.

I guess I'll never understand the criminal mind. I mean, he's sitting there in his motel room and discovers that he's running low on cash. So what does he do? Walks across the street and robs a bank?
