MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- Authorities say a man robbed a bank in Ohio and used the money to buy his fiancee an engagement ring.

Police say records show that Pedersen spent $4,500 on an engagement ring less than an hour after the robbery and presented it the next day.
A Trenton police detective said in court Wednesday the robbery netted $8,800.
Police say Pedersen became a suspect after a man wearing an identical hat robbed a Butler County bank six days later.
