Connecticut Man Accused Of Robbing Bank To Impress Taylor Swift

Thief is a hopeless romantic.

(Undated)  --  A Connecticut man is accused of robbing a bank to impress Taylor Swift. 

Twenty-six-year-old Bruce Rowley was arrested last week after confessing to robbing a bank and then throwing loads of cash over the fence of Swift's Rhode Island home. 

He told police he had a crush on the country-turned-pop star and planned to donate some of the stolen money to impress her. 

Rowley is behind bars on a $100,000 bond.
