She fled empty-handed both times. The Commercial Appeal reported the suspect is a short, thin black or Hispanic woman dressed in dark clothing with a red scarf. A teller couldn’t understand the would-be robber’s mumbled commands in her first attempt Tuesday. Police said the woman threw a holdup note at the teller, then ran from the building. A few hours later at another credit union, a teller asked a woman several times if she needed help as the woman fumbled in her purse, then handed over a note. When she also pulled a gun, the teller left. The woman ran outside, tripped and fell, dropped her gun -- then got into a car and left.
