Robbery By Proxy
N O R T H A U G U S T A, S.C. Apparently it's true with bank robbery just like everything else: If you want something done right, do it yourself.
Police say Richard Quiller, 22, failed to heed that time-tested advice when he ordered his neighbor at gunpoint to go into a Bank of America branch in Belvedere, S.C., and withdraw some cash for him.
The incident began Friday morning, Nov. 22, when Quiller knocked on Barbara Mitchell's door, pulled out a pistol and demanded money, police allege.
Mitchel told her neighbor she did not have any cash, and Quiller allegedly told her to drive him to the Bank of America.
Mitchell duly drove Quiller to the bank, but when she went inside she simply told the teller to call 911. Police responded and arrested Quiller while he waited in the parking lot.
Quiller faces charges including kidnapping, armed robbery and burglary, and investigators are looking for another man possibly involved in the case.
