David Oliver Robbed A Bank And Wanted To Spread The Christmas Cheer

[SimplySpaztastic]

A Colorado man allegedly robbed a bank on Tuesday afternoon, then threw the money in the air while shouting "Merry Christmas." Afterwards, he walked to a coffee shop next door and waited to be arrested, according to KKTV.

David Wayne Oliver, 65, allegedly robbed the Colorado Springs Academy Bank at 12:22 p.m. on Tuesday. He claimed to the teller that he had a gun in his pocket and gave her a bag to load with cash. He ended up taking an undisclosed amount of money from the bank.

"He robbed the bank, came out, threw the money all over the place,'" said Dion Pascale, an eyewitness interviewed by KKTV.

Oliver allegedly walked outside the bank and shouted "Merry Christmas" before throwing the cash.

Then Oliver walked to the neighboring Starbucks and sat at the coffee shop's patio, where he was subsequently arrested by police officers for robbery without further incident.

"It was almost like he wanted [the arrest] to happen," said Pascale.

The manager of the Starbucks in question told The Denver Post by phone that Oliver ordered nothing and no one thought his presence unusual or paid him any attention.

Sergeant Jim Jeffcoat, a spokesman for the Colorado Springs Police Department, would not confirm to media outlets if Oliver had yelled "Merry Christmas" or had indeed thrown the money, but he did say that only managed to recover some of the money Oliver is believed to have stolen. Eyewitnesses interviewed by KKTV said that people walking down the street at the time of the incident scooped up armfuls of the cash thrown by Oliver and took it back inside to the teller.

"A festive robbery, as far as robberies go," said Spencer Wilson of KKTV on Twitter.

There is also no sign that Oliver was genuinely armed with a gun—no weapon was found on his person. He's currently being held on $10,000 bail. His first court appearance is scheduled for Thursday.

I bet if he was black, Starbucks would have asked him to leave.
Dear old criminal Santa is AOK though.

I doubt it was armfuls. When my ex robbed a bank he got $639.00 most bank robberies are capped at $1,000



He just wants to go to prison.

Doubt it. Colorado is super PC these days.

Shit crazy old bastard will probably get off light because he's likely half nuts.

Precisely. He’ll likely be running for public office (I’ll let you guess the party) and will likely win. A real man of the people, standing up to Big Banks.

Or a break from his wife like the guy that robbed the bank to get arrested to get away from his wife... Which he then in turn got house arrest

So sick of the bullshit excuse of someone doesn’t “have health care”. We’re a welfare state. STFU with that shit! So many bums are carried by hard working taxpayers.

It is! You should seriously look up the article I think I laughed way too hard at it haha.

I agree with you .. but to a stance. Vets get shit on on a daily. And a lot are hard working individuals. But that to me is a whole new debate. Some people just take advantage... I myself don't mind paying taxes for housing elders and foster kids getting the help they need. But yeah... That's not the circumstance for everyone and some are just scum

 

[paralyzedxmannequin]

Oh dang that's messed up.

That's so funny you said that, because I was thinking about that same case!!!!

Ratcliff
Mob mentality set in...
Ratliff was stripped naked, and lynched behind a movie theater. His body was displayed in the front window of a furniture store for a few days before he was sent to the morgue.
Maybe the modern world bullshit would stop..

David Oliver surrendered to Teller County Sheriff’s deputies after they say he fled from them twice.

Oliver, 66, was first pulled over on Friday afternoon for not having a license plate.

The deputy says Oliver drove for a mile before stopping on Rampart Range Road. He then rolled down his window and yelled, “I’ve got a gun and I am not going back to jail.”

The deputy says Oliver ignored his commands to get out of the vehicle and then drove away. The deputy chased him until Oliver threw the gun out of the window.

Oliver continued while the deputy stopped to recover the weapon. Other deputies responded to scene and found Oliver. They say he, again, fled from them, but deputies did not follow.

Later, Oliver returned and surrendered. He faces charges of menacing, vehicular eluding, DUI and possession of a weapon by a previous offender.

Oliver had just been released from jail in December for robbing a bank in Colorado Springs in December of 2019. After leaving the bank, he threw money into the air and shouted “Merry Christmas!”
