Anyone near the Wells Fargo Bank building on La Vista and Gaston on Tuesday morning (which is also the home of Advocate magazines) might have noticed a bit of a commotion with police cars and flashing lights in the parking lot. Rumors were being thrown around about an attempted robbery of the bank, but our sources say otherwise.
Security personnel Mike Ashebir says that the alleged robber was simply a customer. The man, his name unknown, had an account with Wells Fargo and was just trying to withdraw some money, Ashebir says, but he wanted to withdraw more money than he had, and then became upset when the clerk would not give it to him. "He only had $2,900 and he wanted $3,000," Ashebir says.
The result? The angry customer created quite a ruckus before the situation was resolved.
