DALLAS (AP) -- J.L. Hunter "Red" Rountree, the nation's oldest known bank robber, who turned to crime in his 80s and said the robberies made him feel good for days afterward, died in a prison hospital. He was 92.
A spokesman for the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Mo., said Rountree was transferred there shortly after his sentencing in January for a bank holdup in Abilene when he was 91.
He died Oct. 12, two months shy of his 93rd birthday.
I think I might start posting news articles having to do with Abilene, TX that I find, which is where I live...
This one I just found interesting because he was the oldest known bank robber, and his last stop was in my town last year... Isn't the term "bank robber" kinda a contradiction? :) The banks make $ when they have your $, and they make $ when you owe them $...
