Ritchie gave a teller a demand note, but she told him she was assigned to the drive-thru window and had no access to cash. He went to a second teller, who told him her window was closed. He gave his note to a third teller. While she was complying, other employees were calling 911, deputies said.
Detectives say Ritchie called a cab to take him to the Wachovia branch at 1483 Main Street. He asked the cabbie to wait while he went inside to cash a check. Ritchie left the bank and fled in the cab. Ten minutes later, deputies spotted and stopped the cab at Keene Road and Beltrees Street, recovering the demand note and the stolen money.
He was then told he had won the Florida Lottery and would receive 10 years of room and board at the famous Cross Barr Hotel - state run - with full concierge, clothing, food.
