A drunken man who tried to rob a bank as a "joke" fell asleep while waiting on his money, a court has heard.
At Glasgow Sheriff Court, Derek Burns, 47, admitted a breach of the peace at a branch of Lloyds TSB in Glasgow's south side on 4 November, last year.
He had threatened workers with a can of deodorant in a bag portrayed as a weapon but when cash was refused he fell asleep, prompting staff laughter.
His lawyer said the incident latterly became so farcical that staff could be seen laughing on closed circuit television footage.
Joe Shields, defending, added: "It was a joke of the worst possible taste."
