Suspect Arrested in Monday Morning Bank Robbery in Hickory

Hickory authorities arrested a suspect who they believe robbed a Bank of Granite Branch on Springs Road yesterday morning around 10:30.

The Hickory Daily Record broke the story. According to the Record, Hickory Police arrested 32-year-old Glenn Eugene Wilson on one count of felony common law robbery and placed him in jail under a $50,000 bond.

Wilson wasn’t charged with robbery with a firearm because he simply walked into the bank and gave a note to a teller demanding money. He didn’t pretend to be armed during the robbery attempt.

Police apprehended Wilson around 20 minutes after the robbery at a nearby apartment. Authorities connected Wilson to the crime because a man who was pressure washing the building saw someone matching the suspect’s description enter the apartments.

Should have come to Boone for that need. We are much more helpful in abetting bank robberies.
