Port Richey, Florida -- Perhaps he just needed some money to pay his tab.

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office says a man robbed a bank in between trips to a bar.

Deputies say they got a call around 1:42 Thursday afternoon of a man robbing the Wells Fargo Bank located at 8994 State Road 52. About 10 minutes later, they encountered a man who fit the robber's description a few doors down at the Hayloft Bar.

A bartender told deputies the man ordered a beer, disappeared for about 30 minutes, and then returned to his drink.

Deputies arrested 52-year-old John Robin Whittle on one count of robbery.

Rob a bank to pay for a drink? Not paying for the drink was a much more sensible idea. :laugh:

Maybe he was drunk.
