A Notable Error In Judgment.
FORT WORTH, TEXAS -- A man who held up an area
bank was arrested after he left behind his holdup note.
It seems that the holdup note was written on the
back of his resume -- the ultimate bad career move.
Police used the job-search information to identify the man, who was
arrested and charged with robbing a Wells Fargo bank branch on Fort
Worth's east side.
The man had tried to hide the personal information by taping black
construction paper over it. But then he forgot to retrieve the note and
take it with him after giving it to the teller.
Police then just peeled the tape from the note.
A tip led police to a Fort Worth motel, where Frederick McDowell, 32, was
arrested.

resume," July 23, 2003.
