A man was arrested Wednesday morning after he allegedly robbed the Jonesboro State Bank.
Justin Nash, 23, of Jonesboro, was captured within eight minutes of the robbery, according to the Jackson Parish Sheriff’s Office.
JPSO said the department received a call that the bank was being robbed about 11:00 a.m. Wednesday. Deputies arrived on the scene within minutes and obtained a description of the suspect who had left on foot.
Nash was in custody within eight minutes, according to the Sheriff’s Office. No one was injured during this incident.
The Sheriff’s Office said Nash walked into the bank, passed a note stating he had a gun and needed all the money, and then left. Investigators have also tied him to an aggravated burglary case and he will be charged in that matter as well.
Nash was booked for armed robbery at the Jackson Parish Jail. His bail will likely not be set until Thursday or Friday.
