Armored car courier-robbery suspect wore ankle weights, offensive Trump shirt
Seattle WA Aug 25 2018 It’s like something you only see in the movies — both the crime and the bad guy: A violent heist where an armored car courier is robbed — the money bag ripped right out of his hands.
It’s all real for Seattle Police, who need your help to identify the distinctive-looking suspect.
He wore a unique President Trump t-shirt that reads, ‘F*** Your Feelings’ where the ‘Make America Great Again’ slogan usually goes.
And, what’s really odd and what I really want you to pay attention to is — he’s wearing ankle weights on both legs for the heist. He’s a pretty buff guy and I guess he wanted to burn big calories while committing big crime.
Detectives say he struck Monday as the courier went to fill an ATM on the Seattle Central Community College campus.
“He’s working on the ATM to open it up and put the cash in, when all of a sudden the suspect appears and he senses someone behind him and he grabs for the bag, but the suspect grabs the bag. There’s a brief tussle.
This guy’s fairly strong. He rips it out of the attendant’s hands and just proceeds to take off. You’ll see he has a Trump shirt. He’s got what we call a ‘do-rag’ bandana on his head, he’s tattooed everywhere.
What’s unusual about this is he has ankle weights on and to my knowledge in all the years I’ve been working cases, never had a suspect appear with ankle weights, which tells me, maybe he came from a workout facility or he’s going to a workout facility, we don’t know, but it certainly didn’t slow him down, getting away from the scene,” said Ret. Det. Myrle Carner with Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound.
