Bank Robber Foiled by Neighbor

FORT WORTH, Texas – Leslie Nashon Slaton, 33, was ordered detained after being charged with robbing the Commercial Bank of Texas in Bedford.

According to the federal complaint, on the afternoon of March 28, 2013, Slaton entered the bank wearing a dark colored hoodie, a bandanna over his face, gloves and brandishing a handgun. He ordered customers and several employees to the center of the lobby, where he demanded money from two tellers.

One teller handed over the cash from her drawer, while the second teller advised that she had no money. Slaton then fled the bank, running into an adjacent neighborhood where he had parked his getaway car.

That’s when a neighbor saw Slaton running from the bank and deduced that he had robbed the bank. As Slaton drove away, the neighbor ran after the car to obtain the license number. When Slaton ran a stop sign and collided with another vehicle, the neighbor ran up to the wreck, pulled Slaton from the vehicle and held him until police arrived.

An officer with the Euless Police Department stopped and handcuffed Slaton, and officers with the Bedford Police Department took him into custody. The money stolen from the bank, as well as his disguise and a pellet gun that resembled a real firearm, were recovered from Slaton’s vehicle.

A federal criminal complaint is a written statement of the essential facts of the offenses charged and must be made under oath before a magistrate judge. A defendant is entitled to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. If convicted of the offense of bank robbery, Slaton faces a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.

The case is being investigated by the FBI and the Bedford Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Wolfe is in charge of the prosecution.
