Gay Chat Profile Used To Snare Bank Robber

http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/05/051305chatBust.htm

Spokane, Washington Mayor James West is the only one to have his profile on a popular Internet gay chat site used against him in a criminal investigation.

Police in Montana captured a bank robber after he updated his profile saying what city he was in and what kind of vehicle he was driving.

It all started with a robbery at a bank in Missoula, Montana. The man claimed to have a bomb but police later determined it was a fake and the mechanism was made from a television remote control.
