Man calls 911 to confess to Fla. robbery

[September 30, 2009]  PORT ORANGE, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities in coastal Florida say a man called 911 to turn himself in about 20 minutes after robbing a Port Orange bank.

Police say 42-year-old Tony Max Olea walked into the Colonial Bank branch Tuesday morning and handed the teller a note implying that he had a gun and wanted money. Police say the teller gave the man money, along with a dye pack, which reportedly went off.

A short time later, Olea called authorities from a gas station parking lot to turn himself in. He was charged with a single count of robbery and was being held on $20,000 bail. Jail officials said they did not know if he has an attorney.
