The hills are alive ...
... with reports of a bank robbery in normally quiet, save for folk music, Mountain View. A bomb threat was called into a school, apparently so as to occupy authorities while a bank across town was robbed. Police say no one was hurt and, at 10:30 a.m., no one arrested.







Comments
Suspects were reportedly last seen in a 1980s model, white, short-bed Chevy pickup. The only identified suspect was a white male, around 6'1", with long dirty blond hair, and a hat.
So, that could be anyone in Arkansas, really.

Sounds like the perfect cover all right. Makes me wonder why they wasted time with a bomb threat. It might have been better times spent poking holes in their muffler so as not to stand out.

Sheffield's Mtn View lodge on the White flooded twice last month, he needed repair money in the worst way...there you have the man and the motive.

Years ago we had a triple header in Fayetteville: Old building set ablaze, bank alarm set off while burglars hit the drug store. That was in the days when everyone and their grandma was taking diet pills and pure coke was in high demand.

@Sanford: Yes, that's true, but living here I can think of about 20 more people I know whose homes and businesses were flooded out twice in a row, on both the Stone & Izard sides of the river. And with no flood insurance available to those on the Stone side, a lot of people could be said to have motive.
