Police: Bank robbers posts photos of cash on Facebook

An Ohio couple, suspected of robbing a bank, proved to be their own worst enemies, when they posted pictures on social media posing with cash.

John E. Mogan II, of Pataskala, Ohio, entered the Savings Bank in Ashville, Ohio, on Aug. 24 and handed the teller a note, authorities said. The teller handed him an undisclosed amount of cash and Mogan fled on foot, according to the Pickaway County Sheriff’s Office and the Ashville Police Department.

Authorities said after they identified Mogan as a suspect, they came across Facebook photos of the him brazenly posing with large amounts of cash. One photo shows Mogan with a wad of bills stuffed in his mouth.

Mogan’s girlfriend, Ashley K. Duboe, 24, was also charged on Sept. 21 for taking part in the alleged robbery, according to officials.

While authorities aren't sure whether the money in the photos came from the Savings Bank incident, they think it is likely since Mogan did not have a job when he uploaded the pictures of the money, Lt. Dale Parish of the Pickaway County Sheriff's Office told CNN.

"His lack of fruitful employment at the time wouldn't generate money to that extent," Parish told CNN.

Both are charged with third-degree felony charges of robbery, fifth-degree felony charges of theft and are each being held on $250,000 bond.
