Skydiving. Egypt. Streaking. These are things typically found on a bucket list.
Robbing a bank? Not so much.
Unless you're 51-year-old Patricia Edwards.
Though the leukemia she claims she has isn't terminal, Edwards decided to knock off a couple banks anyway - one in DeLand and one in Sanford.
"Just impulse, but it was on my bucket list, she told WESH. "But I have been saying it for years before this actually happened."
Edwards said she didn't really plan the robberies out beforehand, and that afterward she regretted it. Well, at least after the second one.
"I feel really bad about it. But, just the initial idea was just to see if I could get away with it."
She didn't, in the end, but not before using some of the cash she scored on bills and crack.
Perhaps she should have used it to cross another one of the items off her bucket list: a trip to Paris.
