ALBANY (Reuters) - An Albany man turned himself into police after seeing himself on TV news robbing a bank but was turned away by officers who told him to come back the next day, police said on Tuesday.



Albany resident Darrell Lewis, 40, surrendered to police hours after his Nov. 1 holdup of a downtown bank but was told to come back the next day to be arrested.


Lewis went to a different station the following day and was charged with robbery, Albany police spokesman Jimmy Miller said.


The incident has prompted an internal investigation

Man Allegedly Tries to Swap Pot for Tires

Wed Nov 10, 5:11 PM ET Strange News - AP - Yahoo News Page



SACRAMENTO, Calif. - A man who unsuccessfully tried to barter with marijuana was arrested for stealing two auto tires after the deal was rejected, Roseville police said.



Joshua Dean Williams, 20, and another man allegedly tried the pot-for-tires swap at a Sears Auto Center, said police spokeswoman Dee Dee Gunther.


When the sales clerk refused, one of the men swung at the worker with a baseball bat, Gunther said. The worker avoided being struck and threw a rock at the car, shattering a window.


The suspects grabbed two tires and drove off, Gunther said.


The duo returned to the store about an hour later looking for the worker who broke their window, said Tim Thompson, assistant manager of the tire shop.


The two fled after workers recognized them, but police were able to nab Williams and arrest him on suspicion of robbery, Gunther said.


Williams was being held in the Placer County jail in lieu of $50,000 bail. The second suspect was still at large.
