On December 31, 2018, an unknown white male subject entered the Carter Bank & Trust, approached the victim teller and announced a robbery. The subject told the teller that he was armed with a bomb. Once the victim teller complied with the robbers demands, he fled the bank.

The subject wore a distinctive mask described as a “Mexican Day of the Dead” type mask, gloves, a gray/black hooded sweatshirt, and dark pants with white stripes up each leg. A possible vehicle description is a dark-colored Subaru wagon, potentially a Subaru Outback.

A Wanted by the FBI poster has been created and posted to the FBI’s website.
