So can the contestants of the Belly Flop Contest account for their where abouts ?

TAMPA, Fla. - The "Beer Belly Bandit" has struck again after a 10-month break, adding to the dozens of bank robberies he has committed in Florida since 2000.



The robber, known for his bulging midsection, hit a bank on Tuesday, pulling a gun on two tellers. It was the first robbery he had committed since November, when he held up a bank in Sarasota, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said.


The amount stolen was not disclosed.


"Normally with investigations like this, you get an abundance of leads, especially with a $25,000 reward," said agent Steve Davenport. "We're not getting much at all. It's kind of perplexing."


Investigators are not sure where the bandit has been for the past 10 months. Jail is one possibility, but Davenport said police have the bandit's description and he probably would have been recognized.


The Beer Belly Bandit — also known as the "Band-Aid Bandit," because he had a bandage on his face in some holdups — has a skin condition on his hands and arms that makes his skin look bleached.
