Boston Police report a man who robbed the Citizens Bank branch at 441 W. Broadway yesterday afternoon tried to hide his face by pulling his sweater over it. But he did that in the bank, and after a teller had noticed the Band-Aid on his face.
Not long after, an officer on patrol noticed a guy with a Band-Aid on his face walking into the Burger King at W. Broadway and D:
Officers entered the Burger King and were immediately directed to the bathroom. The officers opened the restroom door and found the suspect sitting on the toilet. A pat frisk of the suspect revealed a large bulge in his left pocket, which officers soon discovered was a large sum of US currency, upwards of $3,500.
Robert W. Wixon, 53, was charged with armed robbery - because before he demanded money, he motioned as if he had a gun in his pocket, police say.
Innocent, etc.
