The robbery happened just before 4:30 p.m. Investigators say the man asked the bank teller for money and the teller gave the robber an undisclosed amount of cash and then he walked out to the back of the bank in the direction of a nearby apartment complex.
A perimeter was immediately set by responding officers along with the K9 unit and that track is ongoing.
At the time of the incident, there were six employees in the bank and two customers. No one in the bank was harmed or robbed individually.
The suspect was described by witnesses as a black male, tall (around 6-00 to 6-01) with a slender build. He was dressed in dark clothing with some type of cloth around his face.
