WHAT A HEEL: Reading, Writing And Bank Robbing
Gail Rasmussen - by all accounts, a dedicated 49-year-old seventh-grade English teacher from Brookline, MA – apparently led a double life, reports The Boston Globe:
[H]er face obscured by a multicolored scarf, [Rasmussen] showed up at Washington Savings Bank in the nearby town of Tyngsborough, handed the clerk a note on a crisp white envelope neatly folded into thirds, and left with an unspecified amount of money.
Over the course of coming days, she allegedly held up at least two more banks, in Connecticut and Massachusetts, each time wrapped in the colorful scarf and each time delivering a note on a neatly folded envelope.
Police say the teacher … took at least $3,000 in total, and that 20 minutes after one of the robberies, she was spotted at Mohegan Sun Casino. …
Rasmussen was arraigned Wednesday in connection to the Concord robbery, and ordered to undergo evaluation by Gamblers’ Anonymous. She was released on $500 cash bail.
Rasmussen has been placed on paid administrative leave until the charges are settled.
