Court documents show that Ripple demanded a bank employee in Kansas City for a date of handing over the money, threatening him that he was carrying a weapon.
Ripple seized nearly $ 3,000 and then sat in the lobby of the bank on Minnesota Street 756, then spoke to a guard and told him, “You are the man I was looking for,” according to the police report.
