Michael Edward Derenberger, an 18 year old from Point Pleasant West Virginia, pried open a bank teller safe and fled with 69,000 dollars on a motorcycle, later cruising toward California with marijuana, a companion, and a growing sense of fear. Detours included gas stops in Leon and Lexington as authorities closed in, ending with capture near Sullivan Missouri.
