US Bank robbery suspect

A robber who held up a US Bank branch was being sought by Murfreesboro Police Wednesday afternoon near Old Fort Parkway, a spokesman said.

The robber entered the bank at 1:23 p.m. and gave the teller a note demanding money, said spokesman Kyle Evans.

The note instructed the teller to place money into a bag. The employee complied with the robber’s demand and he left the bank on foot.

“He did not brandish a weapon but should be considered armed and dangerous,” Evans said.

The robber was described as a white man who is 6 feet tall with a red, scruffy beard. He wore blue jeans, a long-sleeved shirt and an orange University of Tennessee cap.

People who have information about the suspect are asked to call the Criminal Investigations Division at 893-2717 or Crime Stoppers at 893-STOP between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
