Fleeing Bank Robber Tosses Cash All Over Florida Highway

Police officers were forced to clean up the cash, note by note.

A Florida bank robber's desperate attempt to escape police Tuesday included tossing his ill-gotten cash onto a busy highway.

Witnesses told investigators that the man was carrying a black handgun when he jumped over the counter at a Clearwater bank, ordered people to the ground and demanded money.

Once he got his loot, he fled in his getaway car.

A deputy who was pursuing was unable to stop before crashing into him.

The man abandoned the car and fled on foot into a nearby apartment complex.
