A Georgia woman made an unsettling discovery after being woken up by a noise in her house in the night: a suspected bank robber, apparently asleep in her husband’s office.
James Raborn, 27, was arrested last week for the armed robbery of a bank in Roswell, a city around 20 miles north of Atlanta, the Roswell Police Department announced on Facebook . He is alleged to have passed a note to a bank worker on Monday, Jan. 22, demanding money and threatening that he had a gun — although police note that no gun was shown at the time. By the time 911 was called, some 10 minutes later, the robbery suspect had fled the scene.
