Yes, the guy robbed a bank, but everything about this story is amusing. A guy approached a Bank of America location wearing a dust mask and carrying a pump sprayer (which makes me picture Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men) which he used to spray an armored truck guard with pepper spray. He then grabbed a bag of money and ran away.

While running he stripped off a bunch of clothes to look like some people he had recruited off Craigslist. The people had no idea they were playing decoys:

"I came across the ad that was for a prevailing wage job for $28.50 an hour," said Mike, who saw a Craigslist ad last week looking for workers for a road maintenance project in Monroe. He said he inquired and was e-mailed back with instructions to meet near the Bank of America in Monroe at 11 a.m. Tuesday. He also was told to wear certain work clothing.

"Yellow vest, safety goggles, a respirator mask... and, if possible, a blue shirt," he said.

Mike showed up along with about a dozen other men dressed like him, but there was no contractor and no road work to be done. He thought they had been stood up until he heard about the bank robbery and the suspect who wore the same attire.

The guy then proceeded to escape down the Skykomish River via inner tube. That's probably the first time an inner tube has been used as a getaway vehicle.
