TAMARAC, FL (AP) -- Detectives have arrested a man the sheriff's office dubbed the "“Bad Breath Bank Robber.”

When a man robbed a TD bank branch in Tamarac Monday, he was described as having "notably bad breath." 

The Broward Sheriff's Office says a surveillance photo captured a tattoo on the hand of the thief.

Detectives say that led them to Tommy Lang Dobson, 19, of Lauderhill. 
 
During the heist the robbery told a bank teller to fill an orange Halloween bag with cash and motioned toward his waistband. The teller didn't see a gun during the heist.
