- Law enforcement responded to TD Bank on Thursday afternoon after it was robbed.
LIVE OAK, Fla. — A Live Oak robbery suspect was caught in southwest Georgia on Friday.
Identified by the Live Oak Police Department, 46-year-old Robert Glenn Ray, of Orlando, was taken into custody in Terrell County, Georgia, on Friday morning.
Ray also has two open warrants for bank robbery, one in Seminole County and one in Orange County.
The suspect, a while male wearing a ball cap and a tan jacket, entered the TD Bank branch in Live Oak around 3:40 p.m. Thursday and told a teller, “Don’t do anything stupid,” according to authorities.
The man then directed the teller to give him certain denominations of money, adding “don’t give me the money with the stuff in it,” authorities said, adding a weapon was never shown to bank employees.
There was only one customer in the bank at the time of the robbery.
Rountree said the man left with around $2,500 in a maroon Hyundai Elantra that was missing its front bumper around 3:47 p.m.
Within minutes, authorities had responded and a county-wide BOLO had been released.
