While Off Duty, Deputy Noticed “Something Strange”
(Press Release, Maricopa Co. S.O., 12 May 2009. Phoenix, AZ)Alert and vigilant and properly trained to take action when necessary, a Maricopa County Sheriff’s reserve deputy is the man now credited with foiling a serial bank robber authorities have come to call the “Bad Hair Bandit.”
The “Bad Hair Robber” is suspected to be responsible for at least five bank robberies which have occurred over the last month in the East Valley. And it was the bad hair that tipped the deputy off to “something strange” about a man outside a Scottsdale bank yesterday afternoon.
“It was a gut feeling I had from being a Sheriff’s deputy for 10 years,” Jeselun says. “The guy was just out of place wearing a long sleeve shirt on a super hot day and a big afro wig. I just sensed he was going to rob that bank.”
