Timothy Dean Alsip, 50, is homeless and needed health care, so he allegedly robbed a bank so he could medical attention.

Deputy Mark Nikolai, sheriff’s office spokesman, said a man entered the Bank of America branch, 9171 S.E. 82nd Ave., at 10:20 a.m. and approached a teller.

“He handed over a note saying ‘This is a hold up. Give me a dollar,’” Nikolai said. After receiving $1, he “had a seat in the lobby.”

Alsip, who told police he had no permanent address, does not have a criminal record in Oregon.

Nikolai said deputies determined that Alsip sought to be arrested so he could get medical care.http://www.alan.com/2013/08/23/oregon-man-holds-up-bank-for-1-waits...
