Oklahoma City Man Arrested In Connection With Florida Bank Robbery

An Oklahoma City man was arrested in Florida last week just hours after allegedly robbing a St. Augustine bank.

St. Augustine Police and St. Johns Sheriff's deputies say 65-year-old Robert Sherley is accused of walking into the Wells Fargo bank in St. Augustine and demanded money from a teller, saying he had a gun.

A search of the area turned up the red-dye money. Shortly after that, police and deputies saw a man matching the robber's description riding a bicycle and took him into custody.

Police say a search of Robert Sherley's motel room turned up clothes he had apparently wore during the robbery. Officers also found a small amount of marijuana in the room.

Sherley is being held on complaints of robbery and possession of marijuana.
