A man suspected of robbing a Seattle bank was caught masturbating on a sidewalk, Seattle police report.
In what police describe as a “stroke of luck,” the suspect in a New Year’s Eve robbery of a Capitol Hill bank was arrested after a passerby spotted him “having a good time with himself” in a doorway on New Year’s Day, a Seattle Police spokesman said in a statement.
The man is suspected of robbing a U.S. Bank near the intersection of Broadway and East John Street. According to police, the robber claimed to have a bomb and fled with an unspecified amount of cash.
At 12:30 p.m. the following day, a woman flagged down two patrol officers and reported seeing a man touching himself in the entryway to a car dealership at 11th Avenue and East Pike Street.
Officers found the man sitting in the doorway, and realized he looked a lot like the guy from the bank robbery, a police spokesman said in a statement. Confronted with the allegations, the man said he was only trying to hide money in his pants.
Police arrested the man. During a search of his person, they found money crammed into his pockets and hidden in the soles of his shoes, according to the police statement.
The man was booked into King County Jail on suspicion of robbery.
