Authorities say the suspect entered the bank and presented the teller with a note demanding cash. The suspect said he had a weapon but didn’t display it. He then fled on foot.

Hoover police later found Lawley in a vehicle and arrested him without incident. He was charged with first-degree robbery.

It’s unclear if Lawley has an attorney.
