PORT RICHEY - A 25-year-old Hernando County man was arrested Wednesday night, accused of robbing a Pasco County bank two days before.
Robert Jon Tyler's image was captured by cameras just after 4 p.m. Monday as he robbed the Bank Atlantic at 8522 U.S. 19, police said. He handed a teller a note saying he had a weapon and demanding money, and left with an undisclosed amount of cash. No weapon was seen and nobody was injured.
Tellers identified Tyler from a photo pack of suspects, police said.
He was arrested about 7 p.m. Wednesday as he left T.J. Maxx in Hudson.
Tyler, of 11375 Topaz St., Spring Hill, was being held Thursday in the Land O' Lakes Jail on a charge of robbery with a deadly weapon; bail is set at $50,000.
He is also being held on an unrelated charge of failure to appear, stemming from an earlier petit theft arrest. Bail for that charge is $513.
