Johnson then left the casino and drove to a Charleston West Virginia bank which he proceeded to rob by giving the teller a note claiming he had a bomb and another weapon.

After getting away with $5,000 in cash - Johnson went back to the casino and continued to gamble.

According to the Charleston Gazette - $500 of the stolen money turned up at the blackjack table where Johnson was gambling and another chunk was found stuffed in couch cushions.

Johnson has now admitted to robbing the bank and faces up to 18 years in prison.

Johnson also told the judge he had taken quite a few drugs before stealing the cash.
