Scott Burnett is a serial thief who robs banks as a hobby… like golf, but with stiffer penalties. On August 16, 2019, at precisely 9 a.m., he walks into Providence Surety Bank for what would be his last robbery.

Only he doesn’t know it.

Mary Ellen Ferguson is the teller that Burnett had earlier selected as his target. She was young and had a teenage daughter. Burnett uses this information in his note to the teller to make sure she fully cooperates, which she does… until the robber is leaving the bank. That is when she panics and screams at the thief.

Never having been confronted in any past robberies, Burnett also panics and threatens the teller with repercussions, a warning he never intends to carry out.

Yet, there are repercussions but not what Scott Burnett ever imagined.
