Police in Columbus are looking for a man they say robbed a bank near downtown, then handed two $100 bills to passers-by as he ran away. FBI Special Agent Harry Trombitas said the man robbed a Huntington Bank branch early Monday afternoon after showing a teller a gun in his waistband. Trombitas said the man was running up the street when he encountered a mother and daughter window-shopping.
The robber stopped and gave them each a $100 bill, assured them it was real, then kept running.
Trombitas said the mother and daughter from the Cleveland area were in town for a visit to Ohio State.
They took the money to the nearest bank which turned out to be the Huntington branch that was just robbed, and there told police what happened.
