The FBI has released this photograph of a man who robbed a Downey Savings branch in San Dimas on Wednesday, May 6, 2009.
SAN DIMAS - A robber claiming to have a handgun stole cash from a bank branch inside a supermarket Wednesday.
The crime was reported about 11:30 a.m. at a Downey Savings branch inside Albertsons, 220 E. Bonita Avenue.
The robber was described as a Latino man between 25 and 30 years old, standing about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing about 250 pounds, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Craig Boyett said. He wore a black t-shirt, blue jeans and a black backpack.
After demanding cash from a teller, the robber fled in a red, early-model Chevy Cavalier, the lieutenant said.

Looks like the "ButterBall Bandit" (5-6, 250lbs) jacked another female bank teller and still wearing his cholo costume, surprised he didn't trip on his size 50inch shorts running away.
Where was the security guard?
