CALHOUN COUNTY, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) – A strange to-do list has landed a Calhoun County man behind bars.

Prosecutors say 79-year-old Donald Evans robbed the independent Bank on West Columbia in Battle Creek in February. The evidence against Evans includes a to-do list that specifies 'robbing a bank.'

Battle Creek has seen bank robberies before, but the Battle Creek Police Department says it's hard to remember if any 79-year-olds have been involved in such robberies before, but that's what they say happened when Evans made a list of things to do in mid-February. At the end of that list was to rob a bank.

"Madsen said that Evans didn't want to talk to police, but when he went to the Calhoun County jail he did say that he needed the money for women, gambling, and alcohol."

LOL !!!!

“Madsen said that Evans didn’t want to talk to police, but when he went to the Calhoun County jail he did say that he needed the money for women, gambling, and alcohol.”

Viagra is missing a huge marketing opportunity here. They need to hire this guy and sell him as the “stick up” guy.

Isn’t that what all men waste money on?

Once one is an old dude maybe one should be allowed to rob an occasional bank. It sounds kind of fun and if no one gets hurt what is the harm provide one gives the money back and all that? I know it is wrong of course, but there should be a time out period in life when a fella ought to be able to just have some fun and do those things that really are on the edge. Just a late night thought.

he did say that he needed the money for women, gambling, and alcohol."

He added, "The rest of the money I just wanna piss away."
