BRISTOL, Conn. - A man who had told police he should appear on 'World's Dumbest Criminals' has been sentenced to prison for robbing a bank where he was a regular customer.
Thomas Dorsey, 36, pleaded guilty Thursday to third-degree robbery. Dorsey admitted robbing a Southington bank Jan. 20 by handing a teller a note that read, 'Count out $1,200. Hand it to me. You are being robbed. Stay calm.'
Dorsey's lawyer noted that the bank was a branch that his client did business at on a regular basis.
'He didn't try to hide his identity,' Assistant Public Defender James Sward said. 'In fact, it's the bank he goes to every day; that's his bank. That shows how desperate he was.'
Dorsey had told investigators he should probably should appear on a show titled, 'World's Dumbest Criminals' for the crime.
Supervisory Assistant Stephen Preleski said the fact there was no weapon or threats involved made it a less-serious incident.
Judge Mark H. Taylor sentenced Dorsey to 2 1/2 years. "
