Man Has Girl Present Hold-Up Note at Bank

Michael Lyons apparently had a funny practical joke planned for his daughter's birthday. In the end, no one was laughing ? especially Lyons.

Lyons, 45, was arrested after he told a 13-year-old girl to hand a note to a bank teller, police said. The note said, "Give me all of your money, this is a stick up," according to a police report.

The incident happened Friday when Lyons and a group of girls were celebrating his daughter's birthday. While he was getting money out of an ATM, the girl went into the bank and handed the note to a teller.

The teller sounded the bank's alarm, and police and FBI surrounded the building. Instead of robbers, they found Lyons and the girls.

Lyons was charged with criminal attempt of robbery by intimidation, said Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police spokesman Bucky Burnsed.

"You can't yell 'fire' in a crowded theater, can't joke about a bomb in your luggage at the airport, and you can't write notes to cashier that say 'This is a stick up,'" Burnsed said.

Idiot..:rolleyes:s:

First of all ... why would you be intimidated by a 13-year old girl?

Second of all ... why would this guy even think of doing this without something bad coming out of it?

People are really wack.

No, people are dumb. How do you know the other people in the place weren't loaded down with handguns or whatnot awaiting the response from the cashier to the little girl.

The teller did what she was trained to do. It was obvious the father wasn't thinking :no:

I guess that's true. I personally would have figured it was a practical joke, as most pre-teens in my city are snobby kids who would do that kind of stuff for a laugh, but that's just me :pinch: . And I do agree that her dad was not thinking. I mean, how could he possibly not think something bad would come out of that situation?

because there are 7 year old kids who rape 6 year old girls

because there are 9 year old kids who shoot and kill their parents with shotguns

because a 13 year old held up a bank with her dad's gun a few years ago at the bank i go to a few times a week.

thats why ;)

And it comes down to idiot parents like this guy.

That's the unfortunate price of freedom: people are lax on laws that follow common sense and too restrictive on laws that throw out any forms of common sense.

I'm pretty sure the dad intimidated the girl, not the other way around. The point is, if you coerce/intimidate someone into commiting a crime, it's the same as you actually doing it. It is no different than paying someone to commit a crime for you.

That guy was a rare breed of moron. On the other hand, I'm not quite sure how you end up arresting this guy once you realize that it was what passed for a joke in the mind of a guy with a room temperature IQ.

I mean, I can understand being righteously ****ed off... but you're basically trying to put a guy who didn't do anything in prison. Just have him pay the costs of shipping all those cops and FBI agents out there; I'm sure he's already learned his lesson, but that would really hammer it home. Putting him in a federal penitentiary....? Only in America. :no:

Arresting this guy is just going too far...

It was only a joke! ... this must have happened in the U.S.

Yeah, but there's a thin line between what's constituted as a 'joke' and what's not. After all, post 9-11 it's definitely a stupid mistake to yell out the word B-O-M-B in the airport.

Well in my personal opinion he should be sent to some institution to properly teach him essential parenting skills, but yeah.

What kind of a joke is that anyway? You expect the teller to laugh in front of the girl and tell her 'happy birthday'? :huh:

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
