The Dye Is Cast
‘AMERICAS Robert Whitney is the chief suspect in a sting of bank robberies in Gainesville and Volusia County, Florida.
Local police claims that Whitneys lack of spelling ability means that he was the author of bank notes in which the bank tellers were told to pay up or dye.
Gainesville police spokesman, Keith Kameg, says the note read: ‘If a die pack blows, so do you.’
Sgt Kameg adds: ‘If anything says education is important to your future, this case says that.
‘As simple a thing as spelling one word wrong was instrumental in solving three bank robberies.”
