3.) Barbie Bandits
What sort of nice tennis-playing Southern girl from a churchgoing family considers robbing a bank? One who has a secret stripping job at night and who likes expensive goods, that’s who. Nice-girl-turned-bad Heather Johnston picked fellow stripper Ashley Miller to play Midge (the Barbie doll’s first friend) to her Barbie.
This bank-robbing pair received the name Barbie bandits because of their resemblance to the iconic toy. But this duo had only as much brains as a Barbie doll. They were supposed to go to a certain bank in Acworth, Georgia, where a dishonest teller would happily hand over the cash, but they went to the wrong branch. They finally arrived at the right branch only to be filmed by surveillance cameras.
The video of this escapade was splashed all over the news, but no true Barbie can resist the mall and hair salon. They went and were recognized by the news-watching public, who called the police. It was an easy arrest.
