Authorities responded to the Bank of America branch at 851 S. State Road 7 at around 2:45 p.m. when they said Noojin, who was wearing a yellow tropical shirt with boats, blue jeans, black sunglasses and white sneakers at the time of the robbery, entered the bank and demanded cash from a teller.

No injuries were reported.

Marshall declined to confirm the amount of money taken.

Federal authorities didn’t specify what charges Noojin would be facing.
