COM: Facebook Twitter. COM - A Fort Worth woman shared a terrifying story of being caught up against her will in a manhunt for a bank robbery suspect Barbara Hayes drove herself and Dee Ingram straight into the arms of police at a gasoline convenience store in southeast Fort Worth about 48 hours after Ingram allegedly robbed a downtown bank and about five hours after Hayes' ex-boyfriend suddenly appeared in her bedroom with a gun.
She realized than an ex who she claims had previously threatened her was now likely the same man who had robbed a Frost Bank on Thursday. In a surveillance picture from the bank scene he even wore a hat she'd bought him. But his appearance in her bedroom was much different. But now he was in the home she shares with children and grandchildren.
Since Ingram doesn't drive, Hayes put him in her car, leaving text messages and occasionally an open cellphone line to family to help police find her. She says Ingram had recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer and seemed to be begging for attention. He was going to talk to me and once he was finished he was going to call and let the police kill him," explained Hayes. They eventually tired of driving, and after a couple of stops got a room at a hotel where Hayes said Ingram's rants became worse.
Confused; he just was crazy. His thoughts were crazy. Hayes got Ingram to agree to have them go get her headache medication. When they pulled out of the hotel parking lot she saw police drop in behind her. I headed towards police," she related. She fell to her knees behind a car. But no shots were fired. Ingram's gun was an air pistol. All Rights Reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
