Police say the man, thought to be between 5'10” and 6' tall and weighing anywhere from 130-150 lbs, entered the bank around 6 p.m. and preceded to hand the teller a note demanding money and claiming he had a gun. The man then proceeded to take the money and flee on foot, but not before being captured on the bank's surveillance cameras.
