STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI)- Starkville police have one person in custody following a bank robbery. Around 3:30 p.m., someone walked into Renasant Bank.
The suspect then isolated a female employee and stole items from her then fled the scene.
Starkville Police arrested Laquavis Collier a short time later at Spring and Gillespie Streets. Collier is being charged with robbery.
The investigation is still ongoing and Police have not released what was stolen or if a weapon was involved.
“First of all the bank employees followed their training and obviously the officers followed theirs. The individual that we believe is responsible is in custody. We believe there are no more threats at this time and no one was hurt,” said Chief Ballard.
