Cross-country drive on 2 gallons of gas
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., June 3 (UPI) -- Police in Florida said a pair of bank robbers were arrested after their getaway car ran out of gas while driving away from the scene of the crime.
Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood said Jason Warren Dietrich, 35, and Randall Fredric Walker, 38, abandoned Dietrich's green Jeep Cherokee after it ran out of gas a few blocks from the Riverside National Bank, the Daytona Beach News-Journal reported Wednesday.
Police said they traced Dietrich's vehicle back to his home and Walker was arrested after his name was mentioned during Dietrich's arrest. Walker, who allegedly carried out the bank robbery while Dietrich waited in the car, was found to be in possession of the bank's money.
Dietrich was charged with principal to bank robbery and Walker was charged with bank robbery. They were each jailed in lieu of $20,000 bail.
