"Lack of Thinking" Led to Easton Bank Robbery

After losing his job last November, Josh Kissel branch in Easton's Centre Square and told a teller to hand over some cash.

He had no plan, just his girlfriend's warning in his head: Don't come home without a car payment. 

According to the Express-Times, that's the account Kissel gave in Northampton County Court Monday, while pleading guilty to the robbery on November 7, 2011.

Kissel also apologized to his victims, his family, and everyone connected to the robbery.

"I'm sorry to the people who had to go through this because of my lack of thinking," he said.

Kissel, 29, of Easton, walked out of with $500, but was arrested soon after. In court on Monday, he admitted that the robbery was a rash decision; he didn't have any sort of weapon, or anything to use to carry the money.

Kissel will likely spend 3 1/2 to 15 years in state prison.
