A 64-year-old Utah man charged with robbing a Roy bank told police he did it because he couldn't afford his medications.

Glenn Douglas Mower was charged in Second District Court with robbery, a second-degree felony. According to a probable cause statement, he admitted to police that he went to a Key Bank branch at 5201 S. 1900 West in Roy on Monday with a white paper bag and “asked the teller to place the money in it.”

He then returned to his room at an adjacent motel. He was identified as the man in a bank surveillance photo by motel employees and surrendered when police called upon him to exit his room.
