Learning to drive upside down…

A little while ago there was a bank robbery here in Spring Hill at the Regions Bank. This police helicopter has been circling overhead for quite some time. The local schools are on lockdown. Hope they catch the bad guy soon. Meanwhile I’m glad I have my Kimber at my side. :-)

Shenanigans like this are rare around here, but I guess all it takes is one bank and one idiot.

Update 3:56pm: They haven’t caught the robber yet. From the Daily Herald:

“Officers are seeking an older model white pickup truck with a dark blue stripe down the side. The driver was a white male with sandy hair, wearing black clothing and a black hat. He has a tattoo that covers most of one arm, radio reports said.”

Here’s a link to the Daily Herald article.

Here’s a link to another article about the robbery in The Tennesseean.

Update 5:23pm: This is apparently Spring Hill’s first bank robbery. The Tennessean has another article describing the reaction of the bank’s customers who stopped by the bank afterward and didn’t realize what had happened.

Update 8/14: The Tennessean has an update on the ongoing hunt for the suspect, Marshall Popple.
