Pretty Boy Floyd

1904 CE – 1934 CE

Charles Arthur Floyd (February 3, 1904 – October 22, 1934), nicknamed Pretty Boy Floyd, was an American bank robber whose crimes across the Midwestern and South Central United States received widespread press coverage in the 1930s. Floyd developed a positive reputation among some members of the public, in part because he reportedly destroyed mortgage documents during robberies, allegedly relieving debtors of their obligations. Floyd was ultimately tracked down and killed by officers from the Bureau of Investigation in a raid led by Melvin Purvis.
