ATM joke gone wrong?

March 24, 2008

(Rochester, Minn.) Post-Bulletin:A 21-year-old Rochester man told a district judge that when he threatened to shoot a woman and her boyfriend in front of an ATM if they didn't give him money, he was really only joking. Under questioning from his attorney, the man said he went to a Wells Fargo ATM to play a practical joke on a friend. A car pulled up, and Allen went up to the driver's side and demanded money. But the driver turned out to be a woman, not his friend.
