Bicyclist comes out of closet to rob bar; bicycle tracks helped ID perp

Leavenworth Police badgeA Leavenworth, Kansas man pleaded no contest to charges stemming from an unusual robbery at a bar in Leavenworth last January.

In a news release, County Attorney Todd Thompson say Michael Bailey hid in a closet until the bar closed, and then took money from the cash register and fled on a bicycle.

Thompson says officers were able to identify Bailey from surveillance video, and when they visited his home they found the bike that matched the tracks in the snow.

The crime was reported after owners of Fatheads Irish Pub came to work and noticed money was missing from the cash register.

Bailey pleaded no contest this week to burglary and will be sentenced July 27th.
