Dead battery
helps police
catch robber
United Press International
ST. LOUIS — A veteran bank
robber has been foiled by a dead
battery.
The robber, identified as Cletus
W. Stone, 69, took about $2,000 at
gunpoint from the Carondelet Sav
ings and Loan Association Monday,
police said.
But when he tried to start his
getaway car, it wouldn’t start.
The robber walked to a nearby
service station to seek help, leaving
the gun and loot inside the car.
When he returned, he found the
police waiting.
Stone appeared to be intoxicated
and told the arresting officer, ‘You’d
never have caught me if my car
would’ve started.
