Minutes after bank heist, thirsty robber stops for a beer
Associated Press
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. - Minutes after a bank heist, the alleged robber walked into bar and ordered a beer.
"One Budweiser draft," Ronald Langdale told bartender Martin Jimenez on Thursday after slapping a $5 bill on the bar at Mario's Restaurant, which shares the same strip mall property as the Bank of America.
Langdale, 58, of Los Angeles only got to drink half of the beer.
Police arrested him for allegedly robbing the Bank of America. He had the loot with him in a white plastic bag, Sgt. Mike Mello said.
"In all my years, we've never had one of these," said Mello, a 21-year department veteran.
Langdale was identified by witnesses as the man who told a teller he had a weapon and wanted cash. He fled on foot with the money, although authorities wouldn't say how much.
"He was just silent. Very pensive," Jimenez said, adding it didn't appear to him that Langdale was hiding from anyone. When police officers approached, the bartender said Langdale turned pale.
He was arrested without a struggle, Jimenez said.

"Dreams are as portals,
flat visions of misty places,
fragments bound below my surface,
but I can write dreams,
they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,
and they are real."
