Man calls police during robbery

from Redding.com

A Red Bluff, Calif., man was arrested Tuesday after calling 911 to tell police that he was robbing a bank on Main Street.
Douglas Farrell, 43, was arrested on suspicion of attempted robbery at 11 a.m. and booked into Tehama County Jail with bail set at $10,000.
Red Bluff police said Farrell called 911 and told the dispatcher he was in the middle of robbing the downtown US Bank branch.
Officers surrounded the bank, and Farrell walked out and was arrested. Police said that Farrell, who was not a transient, did not have any weapons and had not threatened bank employees or customers.

Jason's snark: Next time maybe he can E-mail the cops, ask for a meeting downtown, then promise to poke the chief in the eye as soon as they show up. Yeah. That'll work out great. Fantastic plan dude.
