Man learns casino losses not deductible
CINCINNATI, Aug. 18 (UPI) -- A Cincinnati bank robber allegedly ran away so fast he dropped his wallet, stained from an exploding dye pack inside a stolen bag of money, police say.
Kevin Crockett, 25, and an accomplice allegedly stole an undetermined amount of money July 29 from Key Bank before dropping the loot -- along with his wallet -- and fleeing the scene before officers could respond, The Kentucky Post reported Wednesday.
Police say they found the money bag and Crockett's wallet on the sidewalk. Both had been stained from an exploding dye pack a teller had inserted into bag, The Cincinnati Enquirer said.
Police arrested Crockett Tuesday. He was arraigned Wednesday, charged with one count of robbery and given $75,000 bond, WLWT-TV, Cincinnati, reported.
Crockett was released from prison in 2007, having served time on a bank robbery conviction.
An accomplice remained at large, police said.
