Bank Robbers Arrested, Newsplex Equates Halloween With The Dark Side

Joseph_Breeden&Garland_Carr-MughotsThe two bank robberies last week were quickly responded to by local & regional police, culminating with the arrests of Joseph C. Breeden & Garland Thomas Carr over the weekend.

Breeden, a Charlottesville resident, entered the Pantops BB&T Friday, demanded cash, and fled on foot with an undisclosed amount.  A cellphone and/or bag owned by Breeden is rumored to have been discovered near the crime scene, and lead police to arrest the father of two.  The Newsplex posted a story on this Saturday, noting that while his friends considered him to be “very calm, funny, friendly, reflective. Not your profile for your average bank robber.”, his Facebook page, and it’s contents related to the Halloween time frame, were indicative of a ‘Darker Side’.  Specifically pointing out the quiz related to ‘Which Crime Are You’ and his results pointing toward murder, and video content, including his enjoyment of a video clip Jim Carrey – Dracula meets Wanda.

Carr, the individual charged with the Wachovia robbery, was arrested in Richmond with assistance from the ATF & RCP.  While the original reports indicated that he merely passed a note to the bank teller, and did not display a weapon, he is accused of entering the bank on the corner of 10th and High Street with the intent to commit larceny, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, robbery, and four counts of forgery.

Both are being held at the Charlottesville Albemarle Regional Jail pending bond hearings.

    The Newsplex teens should be FBI Special Agents. They are so very astute and cunning. They should visit my FB page and profile me NEXT!

    Garland turned himself. He contacted the detective and arranged a time and place to meet. The ATF and RCP watched it all from their cars. It would have been nice if the c-ville cops had mentioned this instead of just patting themselves and their buddies on the back. They could have given Garland credit for doing one smart thing.
