GALLOWAY, Ohio (AP) - The FBI says a man arrested in an Ohio bank robbery looked familiar to bank employees.

Turns out, he had an account there and was one of their customers.

Agent Harry Trombitas says 43-year-old Alan Garrett turned himself in Friday, two days after the bank holdup in suburban Galloway. Authorities say a man wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap handed the teller a note demanding money and he got away with some cash.

Garrett was jailed on one count of aggravated robbery and a $50,085 bond. Court records didn't list an attorney.
