The Incident
As per reports, a day prior to his wedding, a Texas man apparently robbed a bank and later told authorities that he did it because he wanted to pay for the reception hall and his wife's ring. The bank robbery incident happened on October 4 morning in Groveton in the US State of Texas. The man, identified as Heath Bumpous, turned himself in late October 4 evening after his fiancée noticed that it was her to-be groom who was in the CCTV images which police posted on social media. Trinity Country Sheriff Woody Wallace has announced the arrest of Heath Bumpous in a Facebook post.
