Elderly bank robbery suspect: \u2018It\u2019s my hobby\u2019<\/b>
\nA 78-year-old man charged with robbing the Comerica Bank at 3361 Rosecrans St. claims he held up the bank because he was a homeless veteran and didn\u2019t like living on the street. Dale Eugene Jenkins admitted to authorities that he robbed the bank and claimed to a KGTV reporter that he had robbed others. Jenkins has only been charged with the May 13 holdup, which netted him $80. The money was recovered, according to court records. Jenkins was dressed in a suit and tie with a dark fedora-style hat and was arrested several blocks away while toting a rolling suitcase on the sidewalk. “I rob banks. It\u2019s my hobby,” he told the television reporter before he was placed in a patrol car. When he was arraigned, Jenkins attempted to plead guilty, saying he did it because he was homeless. But a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf in U.S. District Court. He will next appear in court on July 29 for a motion hearing. Jenkins also confessed to the robbery during an interview with the FBI, and initialed bank surveillance photographs presented to him, records say. Jenkins remains in custody on $50,000 bail. \u2014Neal Putnam<\/i> Crime Stoppers offers reward to ID burglar<\/b>
