While the investigation was underway at the bank, officers pulled over a man driving on the Richmond Road exit ramp off New Circle who they say matched the description of the suspect who had just robbed the bank.
Police say it was an investigative stop, and after talking to him they decided he wasn’t the suspect.
Police are still searching for the robber described as a white man, approximately 5’8″, possibly in his 30s with red facial hair.
