Episode 30 Saint Patrick's Day Bonus: A Gun-Slinging and Thieving Leprechaun
Episode description
On St. Patrick's Day in 2010, First State Bank in the town of Gallatin, a suburb of Nashville, Tennessee was robbed by a gun toting leprechaun, with hopes of having the luck of the Irish on his side while stealing someone else’s pot of gold. The armed leprechaun scored an undisclosed amount of cash before leaving the bank where he then joined another suspect in a car outside, where the two fled. As police gave chase with the leprechaun and his getaway driver, and a wild gunfight broke out. The two college suspects would then ditch their car off the highway and flee on foot into a field. One suspect was killed by police fire, and the other took his life as cops closed in. Money would be recovered from the abandoned vehicle, which had a large leprechaun hat in its backseat. So was this the act of two sinister college students needing an adrenaline rush or were these two college students that had been lead on a deadly path by unknown influences?
