SAN DIEGO (AP) - A 69-year-old man who robbed a San Diego bank
after making a bomb threat has apologized, saying he needed money
to pay his mortgage.
In a jailhouse interview Friday with KNSD-TV, Michael Casey Wilson said he'd never done a bad thing in his life but got desperate trying to pay off his 17 percent mortgage.
On Monday Wilson told a teller at a Bank of America branch that he would detonate a bomb in a briefcase unless she handed over money. He walked out with more than $100,000 but was arrested a few blocks away.
Wilson, who walks with a cane and reportedly has medical problems, has pleaded not guilty. He remains jailed on $50,000 bail.
No bomb was found.
