[ABC4] A homeless man robbed two banks in the Salt Lake County area this Dec., claiming to have “viral viruses” in his pockets, according to the Unified Police Dept.

Murphy James Hollie, 38, originally out of New Mexico, was arrested on Thursday for first-degree felony aggravated robbery — use or threaten use of weapon (two counts).

The first robbery occurred on Dec. 8 shortly after 4:40 p.m.

Hollie entered the Zions Bank located at 2200 South Highland Dr., reportedly wearing a backpack, yellow medical mask, and hooded sweatshirt as he handed a note to the bank teller, which read “I have two small vials of viral problems.”

He reportedly demanded money from the teller, and was able to get an undisclosed amount of cash. Police say he left the note with the teller, which was later seized as evidence. [FULLSTORY]
