Citizens Bank Robbed Friday Afternoon Citizens Bank of Jackson Street in Cookeville was robbed Friday afternoon, Oct. 26 by a lone man who entered the building around 2:30 p.m. without a mask and demanding money, according to a report in the Herald-Citizen. Tellers handed money to the thief, who walked out the bank's front door with his loot. He reportedly ran from the scene into a wooded area on the south side of the building. Bank employees then sounded an alarm and notified authorities. Trained police K-9 units, brought in from the Cookeville Police Department and Putnam County Sheriff's Department, then tracked down the robber's scent to Bunker Hill Road, but lost the trail. Whether the suspect was carrying a gun at the time of the robbery has yet to be determined and the amount taken has not been released by investigating officers. Witnesses described the suspect as a black male around 5' 9" to 5'11" who weighs 170 to 180 pounds. He was reportedly wearing a black coat and a tan or beige-colored baseball cap with a bandana underneath. No one at the bank witnessed a getaway vehicle.
