Man charged with bank robbery after first making 911 report

A Kansas man with a history of making phony 911 emergency calls was charged Wednesday with reporting a bank robbery, then committing the crime hours later.

Jeremy Vos, 20, now faces a federal bank robbery charge. Wichita police said Vos phoned in the report on Tuesday before handing an Intrust Bank teller a note saying he was armed and demanding cash.
