Oddly, he's using the pseudonym of "Fred Simunovic." You may ask how I know it to be Gus. The evidence is conclusive: he used a pitchfork, and it happened in Florida.
Police: man used pitchfork to rob Key West bank
KEY WEST, Fla. - A man used a pitchfork to rob a bank Wednesday, police said.
Fred Simunovic, 47, of Key West, was charged with armed robbery after police spotted him at the Key West ferry terminal, trying to sail to Fort Myers.
Police said Simunovic entered the Keys Federal Credit Union with a pitchfork in a trash bag and told a teller: "I'm dying of AIDS, I'm homeless and I'm robbing you."
After threatening the teller with the pitchfork, he ran out with an undisclosed amount of money and discarded the garden tool behind the bank, Detective Sgt. Donie Lee said.
Police found Simunovic at the terminal after the ferry captain refused to let him board because he appeared intoxicated. After Simunovic consented to a search, police found $1,859 in cash on him, and said he could not explain where the money came from.
The bank teller and manager later positively identified Simunovic.
