Rogers is alleged to have entered the bank located at 509 S. 23rd Avenue in Council Bluffs, at around 4:40-p.m on Dec. 10th.  As he approached the female bank teller Rogers asked “Are you all ready for Christmas”? At that point, he allegedly handed the teller a hand written note which demanded all of their money, and said not to set off any alarms. Rogers also produced what appeared to be a small caliber handgun and laid the weapon down with his right hand on the counter towards the teller.

He escaped on foot from the bank carrying a drawstring-type bag with an undetermined amount of U.S. currency.
