Man In Ski Mask Charged in Bank Robbery 'Joke'
Authorities Say Seeds Used Bad Judgment
Posted: 9:28 p.m. EST March 8, 2003

ENOLA, Pa. -- Police near Harrisburg, Pa., are charging a man with disorderly conduct after he allegedly walked into a bank wearing a ski mask, and jokingly demanded money from tellers.

As one of them reached into her bank drawer, police say, the man pulled off the mask and announced that he was just kidding.

A police detective says it looks like Thomas Seeds "just had a little problem with his judgment."

A bank employee had told him not to go inside with the mask on.

After he told the tellers he was joking, police say, Seeds cashed a check, got a money order, and left. That's when someone called police.

The same bank had been held up last year -- by two men wearing black ninja-style masks.
