Re: Obama XX: Maybe We'll Even Talk About Obama
Don't know where to put this...but here it comes. Folks in Uptown just aren't very good at the crime thing:
In separate interviews with investigators, the men admitted robbing the TCF Bank branch in Uptown, and each implicated the other, according to an FBI affidavit filed with the charges.
The affidavit continued:
Tyler, having cut off his electronic monitoring device, used a car he had stolen Saturday from a fellow resident at his Minneapolis halfway house and waited outside the bank Monday as Vasquez held it up.
Vasquez handed the teller a note demanding cash and said he would "smoke" him if he didn't comply. Vasquez also aimed a pepper spray can at the teller. Vasquez was given $215, and he hopped in the back seat of the car.
As Tyler and Vasquez fled, they collided with a BMW in a neighborhood about 12 blocks from the bank and then hit two parked vehicles, the FBI said. Two people in the BMW were slightly hurt, and Vasquez ended up with "large cuts and scrapes" on his face and leg.
The suspects fled on foot and then commandeered a 36-year-old woman's car about a block away, the FBI added.
The men were arrested Tuesday afternoon at a motel on West 7th Street in St. Paul. The U.S. Marshals Service said Vasquez and Tyler were tracked there because Tyler had paid for the room with a credit card stolen from the owner of the first getaway car.
