Robbery Suspect Won’t Get His Day in the Sun
A bank robbery suspect was captured after he ran into a tanning salon and asked for a tan, authorities said Wednesday.
Police officers found the 17-year-old in his underwear at Total Tan, Police Department spokesman Duane Paul said.
Paul said the suspect used a toy gun to rob a bank Tuesday, then ran into the salon to elude police.
The owner became suspicious because the suspect was out of breath and asked, “Are you being chased?” Paul said. “No, I just want a tan,” the suspect replied.
She gave him a tanning bed, then called police.
