[January 02, 2008]  BOSTON (AP) -- An alleged bank robber in Boston should have been more aware of who was behind him in line. Police said Adam Grennan, 39, of Hull, passed a note to a teller at Mt. Washington Bank in Dorchester on Monday, demanding large bills and no "funny money."

He didn't notice that officer Kamau Pritchard was in uniform right behind him.

Pritchand, who was working a security detail, pulled out his gun and placed Grennan under arrest.

Pritchard told The Boston Globe he was in a back room watching surveillance cameras when Grennan walked in. He said the suspect was wearing large white gloves, an oversized hooded parka and a scarf that covered his face.

Police said Grennan was unarmed. He was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday.
