LITTLE ROCK (Reuters) - Would-be bank robber Julius Kearney just couldn't get any respect, police said on Wednesday.
They said that when he tried to rob a bank in the central Arkansas town of Pine Bluff on Monday, one teller started laughing and told him the bank was fresh out of cash, and another teller made fun of him.

Both tellers also doubted that he had a gun in his pocket as he claimed.

Police were told that Kearney, 23, entered a bank and told a teller to stuff a bag full of money. His other hand was thrust in his pocket to make it seem like he was carrying a gun.

Police said one teller handed him some deposit slips and told him that if he wanted to steal money, he had better first put some money in the bank.

The tellers told police that Kearney then threw down his plastic bag in disgust and walked out of the bank. He was arrested a few minutes later about four blocks away after bank employees called police for help.

"Most everybody was happy. He wasn't," said Sgt. Bob Rawlinson of the Pine Bluff, Arkansas police.

Kearney was arrested on suspicion of attempted bank robbery and could face up to 10 years in jail if convicted.
