LAPEER, Mich. (AP) - The Lapeer County sheriff wants to help two bank robbery suspects tie the knot.
"I'll volunteer to marry them in the jail if they surrender," Sheriff Ron Kalanquin said Monday. Kalanquin said he wanted the Lapeer couple off the streets before their cash ran out and they attempted another robbery.
A 24-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman are suspected of taking about $5,000 in the Sept. 19 robbery of a Lapeer County Bank & Trust branch in Deerfield Township, about 60 miles north of Detroit.
Detectives determined that the robbery money was used to buy wedding rings, pay back rent and pay the woman's attorney for work done in a child custody case, The Flint Journal reported.
The couple met after the man was released from the county jail and was introduced to her by another ex-inmate, Kalanquin said. "We believe they could still be in the area, but could also be somewhere in Michigan or beyond," Kalanquin said. He appealed to the couple's relatives and friends to alert police to their whereabouts.
Actually not a bad idea haha. That's thinking "outside the box"!

LAPEER, Michigan --
A Michigan sheriff who said he would wed a pair of bank robbery suspects in jail if they surrendered withdrew the offer after they were arrested in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Harold Holt and Elizabeth Bruman, both 24, were arrested Friday on warrants charging them with armed robbery in the Sept. 18 robbery of a bank in Deerfield Township, about 60 miles north of Detroit.
The couple was traced through telephone calls to a homeless shelter in Cheyenne, Lapeer County sheriff's Sgt. Jason Parks said.
Sheriff Ron Kalanquin held a news conference last week at which he offered to marry the fugitives in jail if they surrendered before they attempted another robbery.
"That offer is off the table, since they did not surrender," Parks said Sunday night.
Holt and Bruman were being held in a Wyoming jail pending extradition to Michigan, a process that could take at least a week, Parks said.
