This bank robbery suspect needed a better escape plan.
Montgomery County police say a bank robbery suspect fled the crime scene in a cab and had the driver drop him off at home, where police found him soon after.
Mohammad Reza Johnson was taken into custody at his home on the 700 block of Sligo Avenue in Silver Spring on Monday afternoon, police said. It was the same place where he had the cab driver drop him off after police say Johnson robbed an Eagle Bank by passing a note implying he was armed and demanding cash. The driver, police said, was unaware that his fare had just robbed a bank.
Witnesses saw the robbery suspect flee in a green cab, authorities said. When police caught up to the driver, they asked him where he had dropped off the suspect and he pointed police to Johnson’s house.
Johnson, 31, is being held without bail.
