On Jan. 12, Thompson, 45, slipped a holdup note to a teller in Commerce Bank’s Park Slope branch, on Fifth Avenue near Garfield Place, cops said. He got back $2,340 stacked to conceal the soon-to-explode dye pack.
Yet, just two days later, Thompson allegedly took a livery cab to the same bank, told the driver to wait, went in and handed a note to a different teller – who handed him $1,740 and another dye pack.
This one burst inside the cab, prompting the driver to jump out and the never-say-dye Thompson to take the wheel, speed off and abandon the car a few blocks away, authorities said.
But cops found fingerprints in the bank. This time, he was arrested on Jan. 25 at a pal’s place in Boonton, N.J.
I weep for our country. When your criminals are this mentally deficient, you’re in bad shape.
