He Was More Than a Petty Thief

It turns out that the group of bandits he hung out with after moving to Washington D.C. weren’t just petty thieves. They also robbed banks, but Bobby and his friends managed to get away with it for a while. “We’d drive down to North Carolina because those banks had less security. And we got away with it a few times,” he explained. But in August of 1971, one of the banks they’d robbed had a silent alarm that was used by a manager to alert the police.
