 Keiran D. Pippins |
Keiran D. Pippins, 18, of Forest Park, Ga., has been charged with robbing Capaha Bank, 380 N. Kingshighway, on Thursday.
"Through the course of the investigation we were able to link him to both robberies, but that's all I can say at this point," said Cpl. Adam Glueck, spokesman for the Cape Girardeau Police Department.

Authorities said the men led police on a brief foot chase Monday after one of them had presented a note to a teller and demanded cash. No weapon was displayed. The two then fled in a Ford Explorer, police said. They were arrested after they exited the vehicle south of Bloomfield Road on Kingshighway. A bag containing the stolen cash was later recovered.
Police said that in the Capaha Bank robbery, the suspect handed a note to the teller and did not display a weapon. He later fled on foot.
Both robberies were the first in Cape Girardeau since the Bank of Missouri, 372 N. Kingshighway, was robbed Oct. 30, 2008. That same day Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin had appeared at a campaign rally at the Show Me Center. George R. Chesnut of Alton, Ill., was charged with that robbery as well as an Oct. 3, 2008, robbery of the same branch.

Pippins doesn't look anything like the ootage of the capaha bank robber. That guy looked almost white not dark like him
Good to hear that they were connected to both bank robberies. Good job CGPD
Wonder what's being served at the Federal lockup in St. Louis on Thanksgiving?
I was thinking the same thing E.A. Unless the video was lightened somehow, I thought the robber of Capaha was a lighter skinned person.
They could not make it back across the river this time. Scum Bags!
Clear from the article who's getting the deal.
Rhines looks ALOT like a young DON KING
omg they are so young! shouldnt they be attending school?
BOUT 10 YEARS IN THE FUN HOUSE. THEN THEY WILL GET OUT DO IT AGAIN THIS TIME WITH WEAPONS.
School? Work? Why do that when they can take somebody else's money...That seems to be the theme lately : /
What does Sarah Palin's appearance in Cape have to do with the Bank of Missouri being robbed? Does this imply that Cape Girardeau citizen's were left unprotected from crime because our police department was protecting Sarah?
Good Job CGPD. These two dirt bags need to be put away for a long time. I wonder if these two ever worked at a real job, and earned a real pay check instead of stealing from the people. Lock them up and throw the key away.

"where they were charged with Monday's robbery of First State Community Bank" This article does NOT say either were charged with the Capaha bank robbery.
Capaha video perp has light skin and a small, thin stature.

The end of this article makes it sounds like the Palin campaign had something to do with the robberies back in Oct. 2008.
Remember the inverted pyramid from journalism 101...
Interesting that photos are now being included, and after all that scandal...FYI, a few other things also occurred on October 30, 2008...talk about "robbery"...
(1) Fed Cuts Interest Rate; Treasury Preps Mortgage Plan to finalize a $40 billion mortgage bailout to assist up to three million struggling homeowners -- a.k.a. the "ACORN assist"...
(2) Half of Bank Bailout Money Going to Shareholders, AIG Spends $90B in Taxpayer Money Amidst Secrecy - used most of its $123 billion government loan with little account for where the money has gone.
(3) Poll: 59% of Early Voters Backing Obama.
(4) Obama Spends $3M on Network Infomercial - Obama flooded the national airwaves with a paid infomercial aimed at undecided voters. The Obama campaign spent more than $3 million to air a thirty-minute campaign ad on seven corporate networks simultaneously.
(5) McCain Faults Obama for Ties to Professor He Once Funded - we'll never hear any more about that one.
Is Palin being implicated, or is she being called in for questioning concerning the Cape bank robberies???
TommyStix, you did it, you unravelled the conspiracy!
Before now, I thought "Going Rogue" was only the title of the book. Now I see it for what it is - her master plan to have young men walk into banks and reqest donations for her 2012 presidential campaign.
Think about it - there was never any mention of what was written on the letters. This is a right wing media cover up. The letters may have read, "Please put all your cash in the bag to support the Palin 2012 campaign." That could be why the tellers gave the money so freely without a weapon being shown or there being any threat of violence.
Of course, this was planned ahead of time with the banks. A member of the Palin team may have arranged it during her stop here. Giving money this way coincides with her "maverick" persona, and helps them stay clear of federal campign donation laws.
The "criminals" knew they would get caught, but they have been paid off to keep silent and serve their time.
lol :)
