As the Tampa Bay Timesreports , the culprit ’s lookup history was n’t turned over to say-so — Johnson informed the police of his two - step plan ( look up how to rob bank , then rob a bank ) of his own volition :
After an investigation , deputies institute him at the hotel . In an interview , detective tell Johnson narrate them he was in need of money and searched on Google “ how to rob a savings bank . ”
Turning to a search locomotive is almost a way of feeling less alone these 24-hour interval , and I ca n’t count the telephone number of times I ’ve sent questions into the nullity — “ how not to belt down potted industrial plant , ” “ how to deposit weird pain in leg , ” “ poop - smelling H2O coming out of exhibitor drain why”—and been delighted that not only have citizenry had the same issues , some have even come up workable resolution . Which makes Johnson ’s case all the dumber , because the 6th floor on the first page of Google ’s upshot for “ how to rob a coin bank ” last calendar week ( when it ’s likely he made this hunt ) is a story ofa Texas couple who also google “ how to rob a bank ” before robbing a bank and likewise getting caught .
( The first result , for better or speculative , comes from our colleagues at Deadspin : How To Rob A Bank , As Told By An Actual Bank Robber . )
As one does , Johnson reportedly used the stolen money to catch up on bills , then go on a drug binge .
