ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A 22-year-old man who just finished serving four years in the Marine Corps was able to track down an alleged bank robber and flag down a police cruiser, helping land the suspect in jail.

Merrill Lake was walking by a Key Bank Branch Wednesday when he first noticed a woman banging hysterically on the window. The bank had just been robbed by a hammer-wielding man, The Anchorage Daily News reported Saturday.

The FBI said the robber was 61-year-old Alan Bronson Rice.

Rice had been the only customer in the bank when a teller offered to help him at her window. He walked up and placed his bag on the floor. Then he removed the hammer and set it on the counter, the charges said.

“I need your money,” Rice said, according to the charges. “Give me your 100s and your 50s. I’m going to hit you with this hammer. Hurry up!”

The teller handed Rice cash from her top drawer, including five $20 “bait bills,” the charges said. Rice received $1,039.

When Rice left, the bank manager went to the window, and that’s where Lake spotted her. Lake never heard the bank manager call for help. He read her lips.

“She was saying, ‘Stop him. Stop him,’” Lake said. “I just thought he’s got to be stopped. I glanced over and said, ‘Sir, she’s calling you.’”

Rice started jogging, he said. Lake ran after him, but didn’t know if the man was carrying a weapon.

Rice asked Lake to follow him to the bus station, where he would explain everything. He had simply overdrawn on his bank account, Rice told him. At some point in the encounter, Rice asked Lake if he was making a citizen’s arrest.

“I told him right then and there, ‘Sir, I’m a U.S. Marine. You need to turn around and go back to the bank,’” Lake said.

Rice didn’t say anything for about 10 seconds, then, “I need to sit down.”

Moments later, a police cruiser appeared. Police had been notified of the robbery. No physical altercation took place.

Police searched Rice, finding the tool and stolen cash, according to the charges. The teller later identified him as the man who robbed the bank.

Lake said he’s going back to taking classes at the University of Alaska Anchorage and looking for a job. He’s not sure what he wants to do, he said.

“I’m trying to take my background with the military, in whatever way possible, and utilize it with the real world,” he said.

So yeah,you are 22 and you help to arrest somebody who is 61 years old and forced by economic crisis to steal to survive. What a hero ...

Sorry, but personally I would have given the money back and let the robber go.

I'm sorry but, the guy asked for all the 50$ and what not? if he had just robbed what he needed then maybe, but he took evreything, its one thing to steal for what you need, he did not need all the 100 and 50

It is for food and water, the ONLY thing you really need, you dont need that car, you dont need that house, you dont need electricity, phones etc

I'm talking base needs, not what USA considers needs, you know a car, house and internet

Re: "Sir, I’m a U.S. Marine. You need to turn around and go back to the bank”

A 60 year old guy with a hammer? I would have told him to piss off.

I know, the security at the bank must be diabolical.

so your saying if your family is about to starv its not okay to steal food?

if it will safe lifes of millions its not okay to take that info?

there are times its okay to steal

If a king takes away all the food and leaves non for any one else you cant steal the food and be right?
Say if he daughter needed some sort of treatment, I'm not saying we should let him have the money, but fuck morality sometimes you have to do stuff to survive simple as that, I could not fusalt him if he took that money and bought food (helathy or not dont really matter to me but some it dose)

this was not a case of that

Re: "Sir, I’m a U.S. Marine. You need to turn around and go back to the bank”

This is possibly the most anti-climactic, uneventful bank robbery in history.

No, there aren't.

I'm not sure if this guy is the best or worst bank robber. On one hand he robbed the bank and made a clean escape at the age of 61 with just a hammer. On the other hand his attempt at avoiding arrest after he left the bank was pathetic.
