Man writes apologetic robbery note

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - January 14, 2010

Officers in Portland, Ore., report a man walked into a FedEx Kinko's store and handed an employee a note.

The message read: "This is a robbery, I'll wait outside for police, sorry."

Detective Mary Wheat says responding officers found the 46-year-old man outside the store.

But authorities won't be filing robbery charges against the man, because there was no weapon involved and nothing was taken.

However, authorities say there's still the issue of initiating a false report.
