CNN) A Texas man is accused of robbing a bank because he couldnt pay for his wedding.
Heath Bumpous turned himself in on Friday, about two hours after he robbed the Citizens State Bank in Groveton, Texas and a day before he was set to get married, according to Trinity County Sheriff Woody Wallace. The bank is only about 500 feet away from the sheriffs office in the small town north of Houston.
He basically stated that he was getting married tomorrow so he didnt have enough money for a wedding ring that he wanted to buy and he needed to pay for the wedding venue, Wallace said in a video message posted Friday on Facebook.
Wallace said that Bumpous went into the bank and demanded money and indicated that he had a weapon.
He was able to get away with an undisclosed amount of money, Wallace said.
The sheriffs office posted pictures from the banks surveillance video and a description of his vehicle on social media to see if the public could identify the suspect.
Someone did his fiancee.
She recognized him from the images and convinced him to surrender in nearby Houston County, where they live, Wallace said.

(54,437 posts)I suspect the future Mrs. Bumpous is reconsidering her choice of life's partner at this very moment.
But Beto O'Rourke is also a Texas man. So is Ron Kirk, so is Colin Allred. Hell, even the author of this post.
We are not all as "Bumpous" as this character.
