Earlier Friday morning around 11:30 a.m., police said a white male in his 20’s, possibly armed with a gun, walked into the Midwest Regional Credit Union on 1015 West Sixth St. and demanded cash from a teller.

The suspect left the credit union southbound, on foot, with an undisclosed amount of money.

In a statement released early Saturday, Lawrence Police said they developed a suspect through the course of their investigation and arrested the man.

The statement went on to say that the suspect was to be booked into the Douglas County Jail on one count of aggravated robbery.

It is generally the policy of 6News and the Lawrence Journal-World not to identify suspects in police custody until they are charged with a crime.

Police have notified the FBI and are directing questions regarding the robbery to the Kansas City field office.
