Deputies Jeff Klamecki and Tom Henry jumped out of their car and arrested 32-year-old James Earl Watkins. They said he dropped a package containing about $3,000, the amount taken from Beverly Hills Savings & Loan, 8370 Wilshire. The customer, who stayed on the opposite side of the street for the entire five blocks, was not identified.
