Man Stole $4K Then Gets Caught Taking a Coffee Break at the Dunkin Donuts
Michael J. Cassano, 38, of N.Y., decided to rob a Bank on Monday. He placed a BB gun on the counter, and the teller gave him $4,000 in cash, police Detective Capt. Donald Scorzetti said in an e-mail. He ran off, but didn’t go far, Scorzetti said. He went into a Dunkin’ Donuts to get a cup of coffee, Scorzetti said. Cassano then asked a man in the parking lot for a cigarette. As he walked back to his car, two Maywood police officers stopped him, Scorzetti said. Cassano allegedly had both the cash and the BB gun in his possession. He has been charged with first-degree robbery and two other weapons offenses.Get the full story here.
