Man robs bank, drives to police station
A suburban Portland man says he was so moved by a documentary exploring the cause of the Great Recession that he decided to rob a bank.
But apparently the film didn't make enough of an impression for the 50-year-old Gresham man to keep the loot.
The Oregonian reports that Raymond Carl Knudson pleaded guilty Monday to sticking up a Bank of America branch in April, a crime he confessed within minutes of committing.
According to court documents, Knudson entered the bank and handed over a robbery note. Then he drove to the Gresham Police Department carrying all $425 of the loot and confessed.
He told investigators he felt compelled to rob the bank after watching "Inside Job."
He's scheduled for sentencing Sept. 10.
Woman gets $1.4M utility bill in error
A lot of people gripe when they get high summertime electric bills. But Kristin Harriger's bill was nearly $1.4 million.
The Abilene, Texas, woman immediately called her provider, Potentia Energy. She quickly learned that her bill was an error.
The utility provider also excused a $66,000 late fee listed on the bill.
Potentia told the Abilene Reporter-News it had flagged the bill and had marked it to be held, but the bill mistakenly got sent out.
The bill said Harriger was being charged 100,000 cents, or $1,000, per kilowatt hour. The normal rate ranges from 8.2 cents to 12.1 cents.
Carmen Balver, director of the nonprofit protection group Consumer Watchdog recommended contacting state officials if people run into difficulty while trying to settle a dispute about an over-the-top bill.
