PRIMGHAR, Iowa (KCAU-TV) — An arrest was made Monday in connection with a bank robbery in northwest Iowa.  According to a release from the O’Brien County Sheriff’s Office, a 911 call at about 1:02 p.m. Monday alerted officials of a bank robbery at the Sanford Savings Bank. Bank officials said that a man, identified as Del Martinnez Evans, Jr., entered the bank and allegedly handed the teller a note that said “this was a robbery and demanded cash.” He did not show or mention a weapon, officials said.

An unknown amount of cash was taken, and the alleged robber left the bank. When officers arrived, a perimeter was set up around 201 West 5th Street. Local schools and businesses were advised to lock down until further clearance by officials.  Evans, Jr. was arrested without incident a little more than an hour later. He was charged with second degree robbery and second degree theft and placed into the O’Brien County Jail with a $15,000 bond.
