Mr Johnston was caught by police in Denver, Colorado, as he sipped champagne at a nightclub bar, living up to the description on the wanted poster released at the time by Ottawa police.
最后,约翰斯顿于科罗拉多州丹佛市被捕,当时他正在一家夜总会酒吧里啜饮着香槟,而其行为符合渥太华警方公布的通缉令上的描述。
It read: "Neat dresser, nightclub habitue, a champagne drinker, enjoys female companionship."
通缉令是这样写的:“衣着整齐,喜欢逛夜总会,喜欢喝香槟,喜欢有美女陪着”。

So when an online reservation came in noting the guest would be "bringing my friend back to the bank that he robbed", he said they all had a hunch who it might be.
因此,当网上的预订留言备注说“我会带我的朋友返回这家他曾盗窃过的银行”时,他们都预感到了这可能是谁。

约翰斯顿告诉麦克马洪,监狱的生活让他明白了自由的价值。在麦克马洪的要求下,约翰斯顿在曾经的银行金库、如今的酒窖墙上签上了自己的名字,并在旁边附上了他4位数的囚犯号码。
