ERIE, Pa. (AP) — The FBI says a Pennsylvania man told authorities he robbed a bank because he was “sick of being poor.”
The FBI says 23-year-old Cameron Minniefield was arrested Tuesday at a bus station in Erie, his hometown. They say he was planning to go to Cleveland.
Police say Minniefield took a bus to Meadville, about 30 miles south of Erie, Tuesday afternoon and robbed the First National Bank. Police say Minniefield gave a teller a note, left with $1,010 and took a taxi back to Erie.
Police say witnesses saw Minniefield at a library across the street from the bank before the heist and later identified him as the robber.
