Cop arrested after robbing bank on his way to work (KARE)

Cop arrested after robbing bank on his way to work:
A Minneapolis police SWAT team member was charged Thursday in the takeover-style robbery of a suburban bank, and authorities said he confessed to several other armed robberies in the Twin Cities area... [Timothy Edward] Carson was charged with one count of bank robbery in the holdup at a Wells Fargo bank in Apple Valley one day earlier. He did not respond to the charges at the hearing except to say he understood them, and did not enter a plea... An affidavit from an FBI agent said Carson admitted robbing the bank, and "admitted having committed numerous other armed robberies" in Dakota and Hennepin counties. It didn't say whether he told investigators why... They found some of the black clothing and backpack in a trash can outside the station, the affidavit said, and in his locker they found $2,940 in cash taken from the bank and the gun used in the robbery...
