(Editor’s Note: The following release is from the Wright County Sheriff’s Dept.)

At approximately 1:44 p.m. Monday, the Wright County communication center received a call reporting a robbery at the American Heritage Bank in the City of Clearwater. 

Deputies responded to the area but were unable to locate the suspect who was described as a black male with longer hair by the initial reporter. The suspect reportedly fled the area in a two-door black car. Video was obtained from the bank showing a thin black male in all black clothing at the counter. Employees and witnesses from the bank identified this individual as the suspect and said he was dressed in black clothing with red, white, and black tennis shoes and sunglasses and was wearing a red coronavirus mask. 

An undisclosed amount of cash was taken from the bank and a weapon was implied during the robbery.
