A camera got a clear shot of the man with a
pony-tail and scruffy beard robbing the First Bank in Bradenton on Tuesday. The
robber got away. But Manatee County Sheriff's officials got a break Tuesday
when Afra Sandifar saw a news report about the robbery. She called authorities
and told them her husband was the robber.
That's when 45-year-old Troy Sandifar
fled the couple's apartment. Deputies stopped his vehicle but Troy Sandifar
refused to get out. They say he ingested what appeared to be drugs before they
were able to arrest him. He was taken to the hospital, where authorities say he
confessed.
