According to court documents, Lawrence John Ripple walked into a Kansas City bank Sept. 2, handed a teller a note saying he had a gun and demanded money.
“I have a gun, give me your cash,” and was given $2,924 in currency from the drawer. Ripple took the $2,924 he was given and sat down in the bank lobby, telling a security guard he was the guy he was looking for and he wasn't there for the money, the Kansas City reports..
