LITTLE ROCK, AR- Police say they have captured a man who claimed to be armed with a bomb while robbing a Little Rock bank Wednesday morning.

According to police, 33-year-old Eric Haley walked into the Metropolitan National Bank located at 425 West Capitol Avenue and tried to cash a check on what police believe to be his own closed account. When he was not able to cash the check, police say Haley told the teller he had a gun and a bomb.

Officials say Haley never displayed a weapon, and left the bank with an undisclosed amount of money. He was captured on College Street.

Police say there were 4-7 customers inside the bank and 4-5 employees at the time. No one was injured in the incident but a bank employee did need require medical attention.

Haley pleaded not guilty in district court and had his bond set at $40,000. His next court appearance is October 2.

A shot to the head might not hurt him either, obviously not much up there to damage, is this some more of those wild animal sightings?

One shot to the head would have stopped this crime.

whatever happened to armed security guards? The bank by my office has one on duty during business hours and they've never been robbed...
