Police make arrest in bank robbery that put nearby high school on secure status
Fort Collins police announced the arrest of a suspect in a May 27 bank robbery that put nearby Rocky Mountain High School on secure status for 15 minutes.
The suspect was arrested less than two hours after the robbery at ENT Credit Union, 1107 W. Drake Road, was reported, according to Larimer County Sheriff's Office arrest and jail records. The 21-year-old male was taken into custody on felony charges of aggravated robbery, theft of more than $20,000 and three counts of menacing, Fort Collins police said in a May 29 news release.
Credit union staff reported a masked man with a firearm had robbed several employees for an undisclosed amount of cash before fleeing on foot, the news release said. Officers responding to the call contacted a male near the credit union who matched the general description of the suspect and took him into custody.
Detectives executed a search warrant at the suspect's residence, where they 'recovered key evidentiary items,' the news release said. Fort Collins police and the FBI are working jointly on the investigation.
The suspect remained in the Larimer County Jail as of 3:30 p.m. May 29. His bond was set at $80,000. His next court appearance was scheduled for June 3.
Police are asking anyone with information on the incident who they have not already spoken to contact Detective Al Wilson at 970-416-2923.
All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. Arrests and charges are merely accusations by law enforcement until, and unless, a suspect is convicted of a crime.
