DENVER (KDVR) — A 21-year-old from Fort Collins is facing a federal charge of bank robbery with forced accompaniment after he was arrested outside of a credit union on May 27.

Prosecutors said Meraz then produced what appeared to be a handgun and forced three employees to accompany him inside the bank's vault. Prosecutors said Meraz pointed the 'gun' at an employee, and 'out of fear and intimidation, that employee provided Meraz with money out of the vault.' The U.S. Attorney's Office said that while fleeing the credit union, Meraz dropped some of the stolen money and the apparent firearm. Later, officials determined it was a realistic-looking BB gun. While officials were investigating the incident, they placed Rocky Mountain High School on secure status for about 15 minutes.
