Police: Man with plunger tries to rob NY bank


Friday, April 13, 2012

(04-13) 05:59 PDT Utica, N.Y. (AP) --

Police say a 49-year-old man tried to rob a central New York bank armed with a toilet plunger.

Utica police tell local media outlets that Lawrence Deptola went into city bank Thursday afternoon and threatened a teller with the plunger.

Police responded after two other banks had previously called authorities about a suspicious man entering their buildings.

Deptola was arrested after a foot chase and charged with attempted third-degree robbery.

It could not be determined Friday morning if Deptola had a lawyer.

It was reported earlier that day that a friend of Lawrence, the would be bank robber, had asked him if he would ever consider robbing a bank.

Lawrence's response was, "Given my desperation for money, I just might have to take a plunge at it".
