Antioch PD Arrest Suspected Wells Fargo Bank Robber

Antioch PD 1a

The Antioch Police Department announced the arrest of Jamal Garrett, 29, for attempted bank robbery at a Wells Fargo Bank on Somersville Road in Antioch on Monday morning.

According to police, the incident occurred at approximately 9:45  am, where Garrett reportedly  entered the Wells Fargo Bank and approached one of the tellers. The male produced a note but did not say anything. The teller had a difficult time reading the note due to the poor hand writing and contacted her manger to assist her.

While she did this the subject left the bank through the back door. When the manager and the teller looked at the note together, they determined that the subject was attempting to rob the teller and they contacted APD. The responsible was not located at that time.

A short time later APD dispatch received a call of an unwanted guest at Somersville Towne Center, located at 2500 Somersville Road. Officers responded and contacted Jamal Garrett 29 years. Officers noticed that Garrett matched the description of the earlier attempted robbery.

Witnesses from the bank were contacted and Garrett was identified. Garrett was arrested for the robbery attempt as well as an outstanding warrant for parole violations and transported to county jail.

Maybe this incident can be used as an example– learning proper grammar and practicing good handwriting skills may be essential to career success 😉
