Toothless woman robbed bank because she needed money to buy dentures
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
A toothless woman, 49, robbed a bank so that she could pay for her dentures police said.
Evelyn Marie Fuller, of Carmichaels, Pennsylvania, is said to have robbed a First National Bank on January 20.
She later confessed to the crime and apologized, saying she only went through with the crime because she needed the money for her dentures.
It was clear to see in surveillance photos that the person who robbed the bank had no teeth.
After her arraignment, Fuller told a reporter: 'I'm very sorry for what I did and I know God is going to punish me for it.'
It was her pastor who told her to tell the truth.
Police say the 49-year-old went into the bank at 4.57pm, minutes before it was due to close.
She gave the teller a note asking for a specific amount of cash. It also stated she had a gun and warned the teller not to call police.
Surveillance: A teller at the bank recognized Fuller from church and a local man said he loaned her the distinctive coat that day
Arrest: Fuller was charged with two counts of robbery and one count each of theft and terroristic threats after robbing a First National Bank
One of the employees in the bank thought she recognized Fuller from church but there was no evidence to implicate her in the robbery.
That was until a man came into the station on Monday night with a coat he said he loaned to Fuller that she later returned.
It was similar to the jacket used in the robbery. He was prompted to go to police after he saw a surveillance photo in the local paper.

She was charged with two counts of robbery and one count each of theft and terroristic threats.
Waynesburg Patrolman Tom Ankrom, the arresting officer, said Fuller had given a confession admitting to the crime.
'During her confession, she stated she wanted to use the money to pay for dentures she was unable to get through welfare until next year.'
She also told police she has mental health problems, is on medication and that the only source of income is from disability insurance.
Police are continuing to investigate the matter, including who might have been driving the vehicle Fuller arrived in and what the driver knew about the robbery.
