BOSTON (Reuters) - A U.S. pentecostal minister has pleaded guilty to robbing banks from Maine to Massachusetts of more than $10,000 (6,300 pounds), law enforcement officials said.
Jerry Hayes, 52, of Hartford, Maine, was arrested in May after he gave a Massachusetts bank teller a note saying he was armed and demanded that all large bills be placed into a bag.
The note added: "Do not put any device into bag: paint, track, etc. If I sense an alarm is set: Someone will be hostage."
