The State - News from Aug. 25, 1989

A blind man who prosecutors say entered a bank and robbed it of $950 was released into the custody of another blind man. San Francisco Municipal Judge Charles James ruled that 34-year-old ex-welder Richard Dunbar can remain free without bond during plea proceedings on charges of second-degree burglary and grand theft. Dunbar was arrested at the teller’s window of a Bank of America branch earlier this month. He was released into the custody of 38-year-old William Douglas of Eureka. Dunbar declared at the time of the incident that he had become desperate because he was robbed of all of his Social Security money during a mugging. The judge ordered Dunbar back to court next month to enter a plea.
