Plunger News Lead

Facts:

New York City arrested Lawrence Deptola, 49, at 6:30 p.m. Thursday and charged him with attempted third-degree robbery. He is being held in lieu of 10 thousand dollars. A police spokesman said that Deptola was arrested outside of a downtown New York bank. Police were responding to the bank after receiving reports that a man tried to rob the bank with a toilet plunger. Police said that bank employees reported a suspicious looking man in the bank Thursday who was threatening employees with a toilet plunger. Deptola was arrested after he was seen outside the bank carrying the plunger, police said. Police responded after two other banks had previously called authorities about a suspicious man entering their buildings. Deptola was arrested after a foot chase and charged with attempted third-degree robbery. It could not be determined Friday morning if Deptola had a lawyer.
