STEPHENVILLE, Texas (AP) -- After demanding
money, an alleged bank robber apparently had second thoughts,
because he asked the teller to call police and said he would be
waiting outside on the curb, authorities said.

When Philip Stuart Martin, 45, was arrested Wednesday outside First
Financial Branch Bank, he had no weapons, was not physically or
verbally abusive, and appeared sober, said police Capt. Jason King.
Martin apparently had walked to the bank and did not have a car,
King said.
Martin was charged with robbery and remained in the Erath County
Jail in lieu of $30,000 bond Thursday.

 Police have talked to Martin but are still trying to figure out
why he asked the teller to call authorities, King said.
"This was a very unusual, nontypical situation," King said.
King wouldn't say how much money was taken.
