Some people still smoke cigars, and some banks still use those “pneumatic tubes” in their drive-thru teller windows.
A man in Bath, New York, in the southwestern part of the state, was arrested, after he placed a LIT CIGAR in the drive-thru money tube at a bank.
He did it intentionally, but it’s unclear why. So we don’t know if he did it out of anger, just to be a jerk, or as a TIP. (It sounds like he has a long rap-sheet, so he may just be a troublemaker.)
The man is a 33-year-old named Jacob Fronk, and he was charged with assault in the third degree and reckless endangerment in the second degree, both class A misdemeanors. (The same guy was arrested for stealing a “coffee machine key” from a convenience store in August.)
The bank employee inhaled the cigar smoke when it arrived inside the bank, and “required medical care.” The injuries do not sound life-threatening.
