CARLISLE, Pa. - A man who robbed a bank by handing a teller a note demanding money written on one of his own checks was sentenced to 11 to 23 months in Cumberland County Prison for that and other crimes.
In another crime, Gerald F. Rohrer Jr., 32, handed a teller at another bank a note demanding money, authorities said, but his penmanship was so bad that the teller had to ask him what he wanted. The two bank robberies netted a total of $800.
Rohrer also stole more than $1,000 from a Plainfield convenience store where he worked, according to court records.
Public Defender Jessica Rhoades said Tuesday that Rohrer committed the crimes to pay for his crack cocaine addiction.
