Couple Arrested For Robbing Bank After Posting Facebook Photos With Stacks Of Cash

By Christy Strawser

DETROIT (CBS Detroit) Ah, Ohio, our not so favorite neighbor to the south. Next time they ask to borrow a cup of sugar, let's make sure they don't post about it on Facebook.

Because Facebook is precisely what got this young Ohio couple in trouble.

This story starts Aug. 24 when John Mogan, 28, and Ashley Duboe, 24, allegedly robbed Savings Bank in Ashville, a town 20 miles south of Columbus, Ohio.

Website The Smoking Gun reports the male half of the power duo covered his face tattoos when he walked into the bank with a note and demanded cash. He is, notably, a convicted felon who was recently released after serving five years for bank robbery, according to Smoking Gun.

After successfully fleeing with a bag of cash, Mogan and Duboe got their selfie on, police say, posting numerous photos of themselves displaying wads of cash.

In one, Mogan has a big stack of bills stuffed in his mouth and he says it's a 'McStack.'

He also does the classic athlete pose and uses a stack of bills as a phone. Hopefully, he was calling his parole officer.

Eventually, law enforcement was apprised of the situation, and Mogan and Duboe were arrested. They were each charged with felony robbery, and ordered held on $250,000 bond.
