NORFOLK, Neb. - Arlie Bichlmeier discovered his license plate turned out to be an effective command.
Bichlmeier's plate reads "FINDME," and thanks to it, authorities were able to locate him about 90 minutes after they say he tried to rob the Security National Bank branch in Laurel.
The suspect walked into the bank about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday and indicated his intention to rob it, the State Patrol said. There was no weapon shown and the suspect fled the bank without any money, the Patrol said.
Witnesses described the suspect's vehicle as a 1994 Black GMC pickup, with a personalized license plate.
Around 11 a.m., the Patrol and Norfolk Police Department located a vehicle and suspect matching the description in a parking lot.
Bichlmeier, 58, of Norfolk, was questioned and arrested. He was jailed on charges of attempted robbery and making terrorist threats.
