Dumper Bank Robbery

(New Milford, Connecticut) A 55-year-old local man, Russell Mace, has been accused of defecating in the parking lot of a bank before robbing it.

Astonishingly, Mace allegedly brought his wife and two kids along to the bank.

Mace faces charges of conspiracy to commit fifth-degree larceny, fifth-degree larceny, second-degree breach of peace and two counts of risk of injury to a child.

A woman came into the Union Savings Bank at 41 East St. on Friday afternoon and told a teller that she had seen a man in the parking lot pull down his pants and defecate.

Moments later, Mace came into the bank and demanded money, said New Milford Police Lt. Larry Ash.

The teller handed Mace several thousand dollars, Ash said.

Police recognized Mace on the bank's surveillance footage.

Mace was booked into custody with bond set at $150,000.
