A 43-year-old Fox Cities man has been arrested in connection with the Oct. 17 armed robbery of a Bear Creek bank, the Outagamie County Sheriff’s Office announced Oct. 23.
The man, who resides in the Greenville and Oshkosh areas, was taken into custody in the 2300 block of Jackson Street in Oshkosh on Oct. 22, the sheriff’s office said.
Premier Community Bank was robbed around 10:30 a.m. Oct. 17. No one in the bank was physically harmed in the incident, and the suspect had fled the area by the time deputies arrived.
After the man’s arrest, three separate search warrants were conducted. The Oshkosh Police Department SWAT Team searched properties in the 200 block of East Fernau Avenue and in the 400 block of West South Park Avenue. The sheriff’s office’s Emergency Response Team searched a property in the N1600 block of North Road in the Village of Greenfield.
A 38-year-old Oshkosh man and a 24-year-old Oshkosh woman were arrested on drug charges as a result of cocaine found during the searches, the sheriff’s office said.
The sheriff’s office continues to investigate the armed robbery.
