Police Say Man Tried to Rob Bank Still Under Construction

KENNESAW, Ga. (Nov. 5)

There is little money to be gained from attempting to rob a bank that is still under construction, police say a Marietta man learned on Wednesday.

Michael Donald Marshall, 39, entered the Bank of America and demanded $500 from the tellers while threatening that he had a gun, according to the Kennesaw Police Department.

The employees then told him the bank wasn't open for business and there was no money. Kennesaw Police arrived as Marshall exited the building empty-handed, officers said.

The suspect is charged with armed robbery. During their investigation, police also learned that Marshall had an outstanding warrant for shoplifting in Cobb, Kennesaw Police spokesman officer Scott Luther said.

What a dummy! ... and only for $500?! Couldn't he have gotten that from a Liquor Store? It seems to me that if you're going to rob a bank, you would be after the BIG bucks.
