A man walked into the Washington Mutual Bank at 2615 State Road 60 around 3 p.m. on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 and presented a teller with a note demanding money. When the teller could not comply, the suspect demanded the teller's wallet. He did not get that either. The suspect left the bank and got on a silver mountain bike and pedaled away.
Detectives canvassed the area and developed a possible name of the suspect. Witnesses and the teller identified the suspect in a photograph, and he was arrested at his home around 7 p.m.
