The suspect is described as a white male, 50 to 60 years of age, approximately 5’11” to 6’2” tall, weighing over 200 pounds, with a medium build. The suspect was wearing a white long sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and dark brown boots. He had white hair and a white beard and/or facial hair.

During the robbery, the suspect approached the teller, demanded money, and fled the bank in on foot in an unknown direction. After the robbery, the suspect dropped some of the clothing he wore (near the scene) while robbing the bank.
