Dim Crims: illegible hold-up note foils would-be robber

Police say a man entered a bank in Antioch, California, took out a note and handed it to a teller.The teller was unable to decipher the handwriting and called her manager for help. Police say the suspect then made a break for it, exiting the bank through the back door. Bank staff eventually understood the suspect's intentions and notified police. Later, officers received a call reporting an unwanted guest at the nearby Somersville Towne Center. When they arrived on scene, they found 29-year-old Jamal Garrett who matched the description of the alleged bank robber.
Witnesses from the failed bank heist positively identified Garrett as the suspect. He was arrested for attempting to rob the bank and parole violations.  [Source]   [BJS]
