Man Arrested After Bank Employees Ignore His Note Demanding Money

GLEN BURNIE, Md. (WJZ)--A Halethrope man is arrested after his plan to rob a Glen Burnie bank failed. Police say the bank employees refused to hand over the cash.

It happened Thursday around 2 p.m. at the BB&T Bank located at 7381 Baltimore-Annapolis Blvd in Glen Burnie.

Witnesses  say 26-year-old Andrew Christopher Martin entered the bank and presented a note demanding money. When the employees declined Martin's request, he promptly fled the bank empty handed.

Patrol officers responded to the area and found Martin attempting to flee on a public bus.

He was subsequently arrested and charged with first-degree robbery and related offenses.
