Stupid Crime of the Week: Drunk Man Took Taxi to Bank He Tried to Rob

B9316747001Z.1_20150326134136_000_GPAAB300M.1-0A man attempted to rob a Tallahassee, Florida, bank Wednesday while highly intoxicated and after taking a taxicab to get there, police said.

Stanley Geddie, 46, reportedly walked into the Capital City Bank in Tallahassee and told a bank manager to give him $100,000 and that he possessed C4 plastic explosives and a .357 handgun, court records show.

Geddie also took a cab to the bank, owing a $25.50 fare but telling the driver he would take care of it when he came out of the bank, the driver told police.

Court records show Geddie was highly spaced out and intoxicated when police found him in the bank manager’s office.

Geddie was tased after not following commands from police and was then arrested without incident. A search showed there were no actual explosives or firearms on Geddie.

He was charged with resisting an officer and robbery. He also received a petty theft charge after the cab driver said he wished to press charges on Geddie for not paying his cab fare.

Geddie was taken to Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare to be treated for taser wounds. There, he said he was wearing another pair of pants and could take one pair off to avoid being identified as the robbery suspect.
