The guilty verdict for Tucker and another man came in last week. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 9.

There are only two crimes without a statute of limitation and bank robbery is one of them. They'll blow a million to catch a guy who only got a few grand to discourage other would be bandits. The best way to rob a bank is to own it.

Assuming the Qtip was discarded (ie, thrown in the trash) then it is fair game for investigators to obtain that trash without a warrant. So, yes, it is legal.
