Bank Fraud of the Silliest Kind

Just in case you missed it: A 25-year-old man named Tita Nyambi arrived at the drive-through window of the Chase Bank in Franklin on Monday intending to withdraw some cash. But he apparently had no money of his own, so he tried to get the funds from his mother's account. He handed the teller his mother's driver's license, and he wore a pink blouse and a scarf on his head. He even spoke to the teller in a high-pitched voice.

The tellers were not fooled. They called the police while Mr. Nyambi was still in the drive-through lane, and he was arrested on charges of attempted theft by deception and forgery for faking his mother's signature.

Mrs. Nyambi does not appear to have commented on her son's thievery, nor whether he does a good imitation of her voice. Mr. Nyambi is still in jail, where he is still presumably wearing that pink blouse.
