COLORADO SPRINGS — A man with a striking resemblance to Santa Claus was feeling the spirit of the holidays when he decided to rob a bank two days before Christmas and then redistributed the cash by throwing it out into the streets.<br />According to Colorado 11 News, police say 65-year-old David Oliver entered the Academy Bank in Colorado Springs around lunchtime on Monday afternoon. <br />Authorities say he entered the bank, claimed to have a weapon in his pocket and then made off with the loot. <br />According to eyewitness Dion Pascale talking to Colorado 11, Oliver "robbed the bank, came out, threw the money all over the place."<br />"He started throwing money out of the bag and then said, 'Merry Christmas!'"<br />And what do you do after robbing a bank? You get a coffee of course. <br />Witnesses said Oliver then casually made his way over to a Starbucks, sat down in front of the coffee shop, and waited for the cops to arrive. <br />Colorado 11 News reported that bystanders were reported to have picked up all the cash from the street and then returned it back to the back. <br />Oliver was eventually taken into custody and is currently being held on $10,000 bond.
