MANCHESTER, N.H. (July 8) - Leaf it to New Hampshire, where a bank branch was held up by a man disguised as a tree.
Just as the Citizen Bank branch opened Saturday morning, a man walked in with leafy boughs duct-taped to his head and torso, and robbed the place.
"He really went out on a limb," police Sgt. Ernie Goodno said Sunday.
Police said the leafy man didn't saying anything about having a weapon, just demanded cash, and was given an undisclosed amount.
Although the branches and leaves obscured much of the man's face, someone who saw images from the bank's security camera recognized the robber and called police.
Officers said James Coldwell, 49, was arrested early Sunday at his Manchester home and charged with robbery. Arraignment was not expected until Monday.

"Why don't you make like a tree... and get outta here."
He couldn't stump the law.
He shoulda tried another branch.
You can't really blame the guy, he was probably seeing green.
just reading the comments below
"this guy should be charged with treeson"
Run, forest, run!
He'll need to turn over a new leaf now.
His bark was worse than his bite.
It's really too bad, I had a rooting interest in the guy.
Too bad money doesn't really grow on trees.
only in america
Money is the root of all evil.
He's gonna get sent to The Big Treehouse.
Now he's got to make like a tree.........and leave
Guess his bark was worse then his bite.
Police were stumped for a while.
They're going to charge his friend with arboring a known felon.
His attorney will no doubt claim the police planted evidence.
Sounds like a shady guy to me
The bank tellers were petrified during the robbery.
His new cellmate will get wood when he sees the new prisoner.
His girlfriend screamed "Just leaf him alone!"
Ha Ha Ha Ha
"This is a stick-up!"
