Man weaves bizarre story to hide partying from his wife
A 49-year-old man walked into a downtown bank earlier this month to withdraw $1 million dollars — cash.
He indicated to bank officials he was doing so under duress.
When police arrived, he told them a man that had just left the bank was one of two men who took him from a Woodman Drive bar to the bank, demanding he withdraw the money.
The man told officers he had met with a contractor at the bar to discuss business. When the conversation was finished, the man went to the restroom. When he came out, the two men grabbed him, took him to their truck and ordered him to withdraw the money “or else.” The man also told police the pair discussed killing him after they got the money. Hearing that, the man told police he pleaded for his life.
Once at the bank, one of his alleged abductors left on foot, while the other entered the bank with him.
The alleged abductor was seen leaving the bank as police arrived. He was quickly stopped and asked to return to the bank. Upon hearing the victim’s story, the alleged abductor said it was all a lie. The alleged abductor was taken into custody and the victim told to report to detectives the next morning.
Detectives interviewed the alleged abductor the next day. He told detectives the victim had been partying with two women at a house on Warder all night long and had asked for a ride to the bank, likely to get some more money to give to the women.
When the victim failed to show up to speak with detectives, the situation was forwarded to the prosecutor’s office, which declined to file any charges. The alleged abductor was released.
But the story does not end here.
Three days later, the girlfriend of the now no-longer-alleged abductor and two other witnesses showed up to speak with detectives. All three confirmed the no-longer-alleged abductor’s story of the victim’s all-night party with two women. They added the partying included the imbibing in whiskey and crack cocaine.
Police were not amused.
According to police, on the advise of his attorney, the victim finally came in to talk to police. He admitted he made up the whole escapade. He admitted he spent $600 on whiskey, women and crack that night. In addition, he said he had an alcohol problem.
He said he was looking for a way his wife wouldn’t find out about his shenanigans and dreamt up the scheme. How that was suppose to hide his spending from his wife was unclear.
His wife likely is not going to be amused.
