"Geezer Bandit" Killed in Car Crash

071710geezer.jpg An elderly man accused of shooting up a Madison Avenue store while on an oxygen tank was killed in a car crash in Maryland yesterday. Arthur Williams, believed to be in his 70s, opened fire on the men's suit shop Sarar on July 9th before jumping into his black Cadillac and riding off. He robbed two hotels in Maryland last Sunday, and led police in a car chase before veering off the road and crashing into a tree. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Perhaps a car chase was just one of the things on his bucket list?
