EVERETT, WA - Detectives investigate bank robbery in Everett.
On Monday, a 50 year-old Everett man was convicted on two counts of bank robbery but was temporarily released to visit his sick mother prior to being incarcerated. Violating the agreement to turn himself in, the man entered a bank in the 7600 block of Evergreen Way at noon today. He approached the employee, stated he had a gun, demanded money and fled after receiving an undisclosed amount of cash.
