Hi Everyone,
I thought I would share this story with you. Talk about a stupid criminal! Guess he has a few new entries to add to his resume!
[SIZE=+2]Resume robber' arrested again after WF heist

At least the robber didn’t leave behind a résumé this time.
Frederick Lyndell McDowell, 36 - convicted of a 2003 bank robbery in which he handed the teller a demand note written on the back of a sheet detailing his job history - was arrested Thursday in connection with a robbery earlier that day at a Wells Fargo branch in the 200 block of East Alta Mesa Boulevard, police said.
Fort Worth police said the suspect entered the Wells Fargo branch and handed a bank teller a note on a plain piece of paper demanding money. No weapon was shown, and the robber took an undisclosed amount of cash before fleeing the scene in a taxi.
Police later located the taxi driver, who told authorities he dropped off the man near a local fast food restaurant. The driver told police the man had changed into an orange shirt and denim shorts while in the cab. It did not appear the taxi driver was involved in the robbery, police said.
Officers found Mr. McDowell at a nearby pawn shop a short time later, and took him into custody without incident.
In the robbery that led to Mr. McDowell's 2003 conviction, he had taped black construction paper over the back of the demand note in an effort to cover his résumé. Police were able to remove the tape, revealing his personal information.
