So the guy is five feet, ten inches tall and the biggest picture posted on the web is less than three inches tall. The description sounds like something out of a bad movie, "beady eyes and a sour expression" provide about as many clues and fits about the same number of potential suspects.

Did they want help to find the guy who did this or not?

Maybe because he had a job to do and did not want to answer questions until he had answers

Some of these comments have to be a joke. GXuser-let me explain what bank employees are trained to do in this situation. They are trained to give the bank robber whatever he/she wants and to get them out of the bank as quickly as possible. You don't question if they have a weapon, you don't ask to see it, you are NOT to be a hero. Priority #1 is getting them out of the bank with no one harmed. Refusing to follow their instructions can get innocent people killed when they actually do have a weapon. Money can be replaced, the human life cannot...any bank security officer will tell you this is the first rule in a bank robbery. And can someone even tell me why the fact that Klubertanz told a Gazette reporter to "go back to your office" is even part of the story? Other than being self serving and petty, how is it relevant to the bank robbery?

i don't think with the picture you can really determine the race of this person at all. so anyone saying it is a specific race i think is guessing

I am glad the comment from the Chief was printed also. Seems the Gazette reporter was probably in the wrong place (at the scene according to the story), and was told to leave. Note, it doesnt say who the reporter was, but I would assume the same who wrote the story. Nice to see the Chief isnt afraid to rock the boat with the media.

any chance of a better photo?

I'm glad Police Chief Klubertanz's comment about telling the Gazette to leave was printed. We need to know the Gazette isn't afraid to rock the boat. That's what reporting is all about.

Once again I ask, how did he even rob the bank without brandishing a weapon? Can they even call that armed robbery if he's caught? And if they don't wish to tell anyone his race, they obviously don't want our help in catching him because the minimal description given is ridiculous and applies to thousands of people in the area. Maybe they're waiting for him to admit it to someone and then that someone to contact authorities? Whatever. Smells fishy to me, anyway.

Time to bring in the Hardly Boys!

dude's got this all worked out, doesn't he? He knows how simple crime-solving is! If only he were on the police force, those darned criminals would think twice before misbehaving. He has only avoided a career in law enforcement because it is just too easy for him. He needs a real challenge in his work, not something as easy-peasy-lemon squeezy as catching bank robbers!

Klubertanz, who told a Janesville Gazette reporter at the scene to leave and "go back to your office," did not return calls to the Gazette. The reporter might have been an asset to helping the city of Edgerton, I grew up there and they were not the best a solving crimes IMO And I can speak from experience as to an incident in 1977 a family tragedy resulting in the death of my brother in law. involving them. I hope they catch the guy.

I'm sure your "name"...."Dude"....is likely indicative of your pedigree....But before making yourself out to be such an ignorant fool....Know the stats......They're provided below.....From the Center of Problem Oriented Policing......Educate yourself, Dude.

Although arrest is the primary risk to a bank robber,† most do not believe they will be caught.18 Indeed, most bank robberies are successful, at least initially†† – about 10 percent of all bank robberies fail19—that is, the robberies are not completed. the failures no doubt contribute to the 15 percent of bank robbers who are arrested at the scene20 and the one-third of bank robberies that are solved the same day.21 Overall, 60 percent of bank robberies are solved†††and about half are solved within 30 days. 22 However, it takes up to 18 months to catch 75 percent of the suspects who will eventually be arrested.23 As with other crimes, bank robberies that are not solved quickly are less likely to be solved at all.24

come on, its not hard to catch someone, put the donuts down, drive to the scene and block it off with in 5 mins of the report and search the town head to toe, come on edgerton is not that big, lets go people, dont drop the ball on this one, this person deserves to be in jail.

My husband and I live in an apartment in downtown Edgerton. When we walked out to our car which was parked in the parking lot behind the liquor store, there us a squad car blocking one end of the alley. As we left to go to parent/teacher conferences another unmarked squad was driving slowly down Henry St. As we were driving we saw other squad cars and yet another unmarked car. We thought that maybe some high school kids got themselves in trouble since it was early release, only to find out after 6pm that it was a bank robbery. Never a dull moment in downtown Edgerton
