MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) – Police said Gaetan Roy had just lost his job, so he came up with a plan: Rob a bank, hang around, then get taken to jail to be “supported.”

Roy was charged with robbing St. Mary’s Bank. Police said he walked into the bank Friday and handed a note to the teller: “This is a robbery. Put all the cash into the plastic bag. No hassles, no problems.”

Roy left the bank with about $1,300. Officers found Roy in a Dunkin’ Donuts parking lot next to the bank, drinking an iced coffee. Police said he had the note and cash in his pocket.

“It appears he didn’t make any furtive gestures,” Sgt. Lloyd Doughty said.
