FOR THOSE WHO ARE TOO LAZY TO CLICK ON LINKS..... like me :-\
FBI: Bank robber no match for bodybuilder
By Susan Gilmore
Seattle Times staff reporter
"Old School" was expelled Friday, thanks to a world-class body builder.
It all happened in Lynnwood when a robber, known to the FBI as the"Old School Bandit" because of a bandanna he always wore across his face — an old-school disguise — tried to rob a Banner Bank.
He was ambushed by a customer who just happens to be a top bodybuilder, Todd Jewell, 26, of Yakima.
"This guy [Old School] was elusive and I applaud him [Jewell]," FBI agent Larry Carr, who is based in Seattle. "This is one of those cases where every week since this guy started hitting I had to e-mail (warnings) to banks. Now I don't have to do this thanks to Mr. Jewell."
Carr said the Old School robber, identified as Chadwick Asheim of Seattle, is a suspect in nine bank robberies in the past two months, all in the Seattle area.
On Friday, he walked into a Banner Bank office on 188th Street Southwest in Lynnwood and told the teller, "Give me the money, give me the money, right now."
Jewell, who was in the bank with his wife, heard the threat and grabbed Asheim, pulling him away from the teller. "He was in quite the fight for his life," said Carr. "If caught inside the bank he'd go to jail for life. It was quite the struggle."
Jewell was able to subdue the man until police arrived, Carr said. Asheim was taken to the hospital for broken ribs and cuts and will be transferred to federal custody. Carr said charges likely will be filed on Monday.
Carr said a warrant was out for Asheim, who supposedly is homeless, for leaving a halfway house, and agents thought he might be responsible for the bank robberies, but they couldn't catch him.
Jewell, on his Web site, said he just completed his first national level bodybuilding competition and took 7th in the heavyweight class and was named Amateur of the Week on a bodybuilding Web site.
He said he's been bodybuilding for five years, and started lifting at age 14. He said he weighs 254 pounds.

So the FBI's official stance is that catching crooks is a good thing because it means they'll have less work to do? Sending emails to banks is such a drag man, ya know?
Jewell, who was in the bank with his wife, heard the threat and grabbed Asheim, pulling him away from the teller. "He was in quite the fight for his life," said Carr. "If caught inside the bank he'd go to jail for life. It was quite the struggle."
Larry Carr sounds a little light in the loafers. Lazy? Homosexual? The new FBI might be for you.... US security is in quite the good hands.
Woo, thanks for the paste. You know us too well.

Nice to hear things like that.. shows you what hard work can do for you.. I bet no one else in the bank would of tried to stop him. I'm sure the robber was surprised.
-
What kind of irresponsible journalist has the audacity to mention 'bodybuilding' without the gratuitous use of the word 'steroids'???
What is this world coming to?

Don't worry... it will only be a matter of time before some industrious local reporter picks up on this and runs a piece, "Steroids Turn People Into Vigilantes!"

He would have to be a natural going by the Chinese standards of bodybuilding.
All the guys with any size in my gym in Suzhou are all juiced to the gills ( and they're still not that big)
A bunch to train with though

Report by KIM HOLCOLMB / KING 5 News
SEATTLE - Whether it was chance or fate, a bodybuilder and an accused serial robber wound up in the same bank at the same moment.
Todd Jewell and his wife were waiting in the lobby of Banner Bank in Lynnwood on Friday.
"We weren't in there maybe more than 10 or 15 minutes when this all took place," said Jewell.
As Jewell stood inside, a masked robber broke through the doors and began screaming at a teller. The FBI said the robber has used the same MO eight times in the past two months.
"You've got to be kidding me, this is a bank robbery," said Jewell. "It was just very surreal. I couldn't believe it was actually happening."
Jewell sized up the robber and didn't see a gun. He also didn't see much of a threat.
"He was about half my size," he said.
When the robber lunged toward a teller, Jewell surprised him from behind. They fought, and predictably, Jewell won.
The FBI would later tell him he'd captured a notorious criminal dubbed the "Old School Bandit," who had eluded special agents like Larry Carr for weeks.
"Literally catching him in the act, inside the bank, and being able to link him to the others, I couldn't think of a better turnout for the investigation," said Carr.
After more than a decade in the gym, all that strength training truly paid off.
"I'm a little embarrassed. I'm a little modest," said Jewell. "I'm just glad I could help."

It makes me sick. I've paid People pay good money for that!

Haha in my country that bodybuilder would have been charged for using excessive force etc. Robber would have got a vacation and a few thousands. Gotta love leftist judges.

OMFG LOL!!! I just re-read my post, sounds bad!
-
The media should have said how the bodybuilder tested positive for roids, and in this case, that was a good thing. If natural, the robber would have handed him his ass! hahah ;) Go steroids!
That is pretty funny though, some sorry ass 2nd rate thug holding up a bank, then some juicer who is 250lbs completely dominates him.
OWNED! haha Have fun in jail fucko. ;D

Let me guess you're from Australia?
Reminds me of the story of the would be thief who fell through the roof of the house he was trying to rob. He sued the owners for damages because of faulty foundation wasnt up to code. He was rewarded 50k$, what a joke our country is......good place to be a criminal!
