But on his way to the teller a bank official told him to wait his turn in line. Gillen did, and when he finally reached the window and handed over the note, the teller pushed the alarm button. Gillen fled but was picked up later by police and placed in a lineup, where the bank official failed to pick him out. He was however charged with attempted robbery, after he called out from the lineup, " Hey, don't you recognize me?" Scottish Daily Record --
