Grade 10

Orphey Wilson, age 40, wore a ski mask as he worked alone on Sunday to unbolt an ATM from a Texas bank. He then used a stolen forklift to load the machine into a stolen U-Haul truck. A witness called the police, who arrived seconds after Wilson drove away and arrested him less than a mile from the bank. Wilson now faces new charges for theft and criminal mischief, which could each result in 5-9 years in prison. This is the first time police have caught the thief and recovered the stolen ATM and money.
