Take a bow John Martinez... perhaps the worst bank robber. EVER.

The 68-year-old walked into the Fargo bank's branch in Denver wearing a T-shirt with the name "John" on his chest area, according to a probable-cause statement.

Witnesses recorded the robber's license plate, which was registered to Martinez. Between the name tag and the fleeing vehicle, police were able to identify him as the thief, the papers say.

Several bank tellers also identified Martinez from a photo lineup, according to the papers.

Officers found Martinez at a Ramada Inn in Denver hours after the robbery and arrested him before he allegedly admitted to the robbery.

"Martinez advised that he told his wife that he had borrowed the money and did not tell her that he had robbed the bank," the probable-cause statement said.
