Bank robbery suspect taken into custody
David Lee Glenn, 34, of Shady Acres Road, Spartanburg, is accused of robbing the First Citizens Bank in Jonesville in Union County on Friday morning of an undisclosed amount of cash. Police allege Glenn went first to a Dollar General store in Jonesville where he purchased a “Scream” Halloween mask and then held up the First Citizens Bank with a toy gun. The robber was wearing a camouflage jacket with a red lining and had a teller place money in a plastic Dollar General bag. After the 9:41 a.m. robbery, witnesses told police that the robber fled the parking lot in a grey-colored Jeep sport utility vehicle in the direction of Highway 18, which heads into Cherokee County. Within just a few hours of the robbery, the Union County Sheriff’s Office released security camera photographs from inside the bank, which showed the robber in his Halloween mask and camouflage coat, as well as security camera footage from the Dollar General, which gave a clear look at the maskbuyer’s face. Union County Sheriff David Taylor said Friday evening that a vehicle the description was located at the Nestle plant in Gaffney and that members of the Jonesville Police Department, Union County Sheriff’s Department, Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested Glenn. Taylor said the vehicle found at Nestle was going to be taken back to Union County for execution of a search warrant and processing. Glenn was initially taken to the Cherokee County Detention Center on Friday but was subsequently transferred to the Union County Jail, where he remained Sunday. No bond had been set and a person who answered the phone at the jail could not say when a bond hearing would be held. Glenn was booked on a single charge of armed robbery, according to the jail. Sheriff Taylor had said Friday night that warrants were being signed on Glenn. No one was injured. |
