Michael Noojin, a 67-year-old man, was arrested on Monday by the FBI after attempting to rob a Bank of America in Hollywood, Florida. According to the criminal complaint unsealed on the same day, Noojin had tried to steal $650 to pay rent and avoid being on the streets.
Noojin had entered the bank wearing a yellow polo shirt with sail boats and birds printed all over, blue-jeans, white shoes, and sunglasses. When it was his turn to be served, Noojin asked the teller for his debit card. However, instead of presenting it, he pulled out a brown plastic shopping bag and placed it under the protective glass.
He then told the teller that he had a gun and demanded her to put all the money into the bag. Fearing for their safety, two other tellers locked their money drawers and an emergency alarm was activated. Noojin then fled the bank from an emergency exit before anyone could stop him.
According to the complaint, Noojin had needed the $650 to pay his rent, and it was his last chance before becoming homeless. Thankfully, no one was harmed in the incident.
