UNDATED (WHTC-AM/FM) — A 51-year-old Florida man is in the Allegan County Jail, awaiting arraignment in federal court on bank robbery charges.
He allegedly handed a note to a PNC Bank teller demanding cash and claiming his backpack contained a bomb — and left the backpack behind as he took off with an undisclosed amount of cash.
State police bomb squad members later found only clothes in the backpack.
The robbery caused chaos in downtown Plainwell, with an hours-long evacuation as police went looking for the robber. They found the suspect at 1 a.m., walking along U.S. -131 near M222 — close to Martin.
