The bizarre incident happened moments after a branch of Academy Bank near the intersection of East Pikes Peak Avenue and South Tejon Street was robbed around 12:30 p.m., police said in an incident report.
They described the robber – later identified as 65-year-old David Wayne Oliver – as an “older white male” who threatened to use a weapon and left the bank with an “undisclosed amount of cash.”
Police found the suspect sitting in front of a coffee shop and arrested him without incident.
Bystanders returned the money that Oliver had passed out to them back to the bank after the bizarre Christmas incident.
