Cops say Charlestown bank holdup work of Winthrop man

By adamg on Wed, 07/20/2011 - 1:06pm

Fidler Boston Police report a Winthrop man didn't get far enough away from a Sovereign Bank branch yesterday to enjoy any of his allegedly ill-gotten - and red stained - money.

Michael Fidler, 32, of Winthrop, was arrested on Austin Street, right around the corner from the Rutherford Avenue branch he'd allegedly fled only moments before. Police say he had red dye on his shirt and pants.

Police say they are continuing to look for a second man observed "huddling near the ATM area and whispering" with Fidler before the holdup.

Innocent, etc.

I'm thinking I might take that new chick from Logistics. If things go well I might be showing her my O-face. "Oh... Oh... Oh!" You know what I'm talkin' about. "Oh!"
