Idiot robs his own bank with stun gun
A 68-year-old paroled bank robber who they called the “stun gun bandit” because he used a stun gun to rob, has been arrested after robbing his own bank.
Lester Robert Evans, 68, was arrested after LAPD investigators said they found evidence in his skid row apartment that helped tie him to a December boutique robbery. In that crime, Evans was captured on video shocking the young clerk with a stun gun, said LAPD Lt. Paul Vernon.
“We had a feeling this guy would surface eventually,” Vernon said. “It just turns out he decided to rob a bank where he had his own account.”
Police were called Tuesday to the Bank of the West branch at 2nd and San Pedro streets in downtown L.A. after it was robbed by “a white man in his 60s,” authorities said. Within minutes, officers had come up with the name of Evans, a local man who was on parole for bank robbery.
Detectives verified Evans was on parole and went to his apartment in the 400 block of East 7th Street on skid row. Detectives searched the apartment and seized evidence that linked the parolee to the bank robbery, as well as the boutique robbery, police said. Evans was booked for the bank robbery and held without bail for a parole violation.
The lesson here is never rob the bank where you have an account, go there regularly to cash your Social Security check, people know you and have your address on file.

Yeah, reminds me of the guy who robbed his own bank and even though he was wearing a mask, he said to the security guard who he had tied up, “See ya monday, Jim.” – That’s an idiot!

I wish they would describe the stun gun used.

At the end of the day it’s better to get zapped than shot. This guy was an idiot – but thankfully an idiot with a stun gun.

Since this criminal has already done time for the same thing he decided to go to his own bank to rob it since he knew that they would be able to identify him

He needed that money for a brain transplant .That’s why he robbed the bank. His defense should be, I was getting my own money!

I remember the story of the guy who robbed a bank he used a mask but he had his company shirt on that had his nametag on it and the name of the company very smart

Poor dummy, hope he didn’t use one of our stun guns. Too bad the clerk couldn’t use pepper spray or something else, but that’s not in their training.

Some people get so hard up they do the dumbest things. I wonder if it was one of Safety Tech’s stun guns!!

It is fools like this that give the politicians and the radicals the ammunition they need to create laws to constrict our rights to defend ourselves. I firmly believe in defending yourself, whether it be with firearm, stun deceive or pepper spray.
