NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Usually bank robbers just wear a mask.

But police say two robbers dressed as Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon last month in two heists in Bowling Green, Ky.

William R. Hendrick, 57, and Richard Parrott, 58, were arrested Wednesday in Nashville. The pair, who both were convicted of bank robbery in Florida in the 1980s, face federal armed bank robbery charges.

Police said the pair may be fans of an old Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves movie in which robbers wore masks of Presidents Reagan, Nixon, Carter and Johnson.
