Davis Highway Bank Robbed

September 23, 2011

Authorities are searching for a man armed with handgun that robbed an Escambia County bank this afternoon. The man escaped with an undisclosed amount of money.

The incident occurred just before 1 p.m. at SunTrust Bank, 6700 N. Davis Highway. Pensacola Police Department Sgt. Stephen Davis said the man walked up to a teller, handed her a note demanding cash while lifting his shirt to show a handgun in his pants.

The teller complied and the man left the bank on foot in an eastbound direction.

Davis said there were about a half-dozen employees and about the same number of customers in the bank at the time.

The suspect is a white male, possibly 35 to 45 years old, about 6 feet to 6 feet 4, about 140 to 160 pounds with short dark brown or black hair. He was wearing a long-sleeved dark blue denim shirt and a black flat cap. He may have a mole on his left cheek and had a pronounced Adam’s apple.

Anyone having information on the suspect is asked to contact Detective Chad Willhite at (850) 435-1965 or the Pensacola Police Department at (850) 435-1900.

    I hope they get him soon, so this does not go on and on and his actions do not
    escalate until he uses his gun. Jerk

    That camera is super clear, no way he can’t be caught

    This joker appears calm. I bet his heart rate never went over 95. Facial Recognition Software should identify him.

    I have never seen a security camera picture that clear. Someone, somewhere has t know him. Just wondering if he is from around here.

    “He … had a pronounced Adam’s apple.”

    The understatement of the day, found right here. Looks like a grapefruit got stuck in his throat!

    Glad everyone is safe.
