FBI: Suspect in Ohio holdup was bank customer
Posted 8/16/2010 1:44 PM ET

GALLOWAY, Ohio (AP) — The FBI says a man arrested in an Ohio bank holdup looked familiar to bank employees because he was a customer there.

Special Agent Harry Trombitas (trahm-BY'-tuhs) in Columbus says 43-year-old Alan Garrett turned himself in on Friday, two days after the robbery in suburban Galloway.

Authorities had said a man wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap got away with a small amount of cash after handing the teller a note demanding money. The FBI says bank workers got the plate number of the man's car, it was traced it to Garrett and a warrant was issued.

Trombitas says the bank employees recognized Garrett because he had an account there.

Garrett is jailed on one count of aggravated robbery, with bond at $50,085. Court records don't list an attorney.
