Bank Bandit Hits Picher Bank For About Eight Thousand
An armed hold up at the First State Bank in Picher on Monday netted an estimated 8000 dollars. Deputies said the suspect resembled John Harry Allen, an escaped convict on the FBI ten most wanted list. The FBI declined to comment on similarities to a recent Miami supermarket robbery. A Stolen 1954 Lincoln, found abandoned two miles east of Picher, ties to the escape were noted. Bank President Ralph Chambers described the incident as a quick in and out with little interest in the vault. Police pursued a possible car switch as witnesses reported a Cadillac following the suspect. The incident followed other tense crime activity in the region.
