He was arrested by Trinity County Sheriff Woody Wallace who also posted a Facebook video confirming the arrest. “He basically stated he was getting married tomorrow, and he didn’t have enough money for the wedding ring he wanted to buy and he needed to pay for the wedding venue,” Wallace told People.com.
After leaving the bank with around USD 7,000, Bompous thought he had got away. However, his wife contacted him after seeing his photo on Facebook and asked him if he had robbed the bank. She also urged him to go to the police and surrender.
