End of a Friendship
In Cleveland, Nicholas Cabot, 64, had a doctor's appointment one Monday morning and no way to get there. He called his friend and asked if he could give him a ride. On the way, Cabot asked the friend to stop at the bank - he said he needed to get some money.
Cabot walked into the bank, gave the teller a pouch and a note that told her to fill it with money, no dye packs and no alarms. It also said he was armed and "…really didn't want to hurt anybody."
He then walked out of the bank with the pouch, got back into the friend's car, and they continued on.
A sharp customer in the bank at the time not only got a good description of the car, he also got the license number. Police managed to quickly locate the vehicle, and in less than an hour after the robbery had Cabot under arrest. He will face a charge of first-degree felony aggravated robbery with a gun specification, which carries a maximum of 13 years in prison.
His unsuspecting friend was not charged with any crime, police report.
