Better check that resume again...

Hmmm, lets see what we got on the stack here:

1. This fellah was a Detroit teacher.
2. A staff member at Michigan State University
3. A member of a task force on school violence
4. A deputy director of the Peace Corps in Kenya, according to a 2005 profile in Detroit's Metro Times newspaper.

Not bad. Oh there's little bit, according to the FBI, he's also the "Zombie Bandit"

snip...

"A convicted bank robber the FBI nicknamed the "Zombie Bandit" during a string of bank holdups in the Midwest in 1991 is the suspect in a robbery last week in Medford. Surveillance videos convinced investigators the man who robbed the Liberty Bank on Dec. 30 is 67-year-old Alan David Hurwitz, who served prison time for holdups at 18 banks across Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.

"He is not the most likely bank robber, but we have seen people fall off the pedestal in the past and resort to crime," Medford police Lt. Tim Doney said.

The FBI nicknamed him the "Zombie Bandit" because of the vacant look on his face during the Midwest robberies.

Hurwitz was arrested in 1992 and sentenced to 12 years in federal prison.

Police describe him as a man who did a lot of good until a drug habit turned him to crime.

"He's done a lot of good in his life, but he has been a slave to crack cocaine," Medford police Deputy Chief Tim George said.

Zombies. I hate those guys. They're just like Illinois Nazis, only without the fancy get-ups...
