The Knoxville Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Chief Sterling Owen IV of the Knoxville Police Department (KPD) are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the man who robbed a Knoxville bank today.

At approximately 5:52 p.m. this evening, a man entered the First Tennessee Bank located at 3900 Western Avenue in Knoxville, verbally demanded money, and brandished a firearm. Witnesses described the suspect as a white male, approximately 35 to 40 years old, approximately 6’ tall, medium build, weighing approximately 200 pounds. The suspect was further described as wearing khaki pants, a dark green, long sleeve button-up shirt over a white t-shirt, brown shoes, a khaki fishing hat, and a dust filter mask. After obtaining an undetermined amount of money, the suspect left the scene on foot.

A reward is being offered for any information which leads to the arrest of this individual. Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 865-544-0751 or the KPD at 865-215-7212. This matter is being investigated jointly by the FBI Safe Streets Task Force (which consists of personnel from the FBI, KPD, and KCSO) and the KPD Major Crimes Unit.

All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
