Woman with no teeth robbed bank to buy dentures

A woman accused of robbing First National Bank in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania and who appeared in a surveillance video to have no teeth told police after her arrest on Tuesday she had robbed the bank to buy a set of dentures. She handed a teller a note asking for a specific amount of cash.

The note also stated she had a gun and warned the teller not to call police. Evelyn Marie Fuller, 49, of 310 Park View Knoll, Carmichaels, formerly of Waynesburg, was arrested by Waynesburg Borough police and charged with robbing the bank office at 1 West High St. on Jan. 20.



Fuller was arraigned before District Justice Lou Dayich on two counts of robbery and one count each of theft and terroristic threats. She was placed in the Greene County jail on $75,000 bond and faces a preliminary hearing.

Waynesburg Patrolman Tom Ankrom, the arresting officer, said Fuller had given a confession admitting to the crime. "During her confession, she stated she wanted to use the money to pay for dentures she was unable to get through welfare until next year," he said.
