Underwear-Masked 73-Year-Old Robs Bank

‘Needed the money’ after gambling away his own on horses and Texas Hold ‘em

St. Lucie County, Florida resident John Dougherty wore black underwear over his face and robbed a local bank, the Palm Beach Post reports.

The 73-year-old Dougherty told officials that he committed the crime because he was on a fixed income and had gambled away his own money on horses and Texas Hold ‘Em.

Dougherty’s underwear mask was not enough to prevent his eventual capture, however, as a bank robbery detection device was hidden in the $1,800 of stolen cash, according to a statement.
