An angry customer was arrested Wednesday evening, hours after he pulled out a gun and threatened people at a bank drive-thru, Canton police said.
Officers were called to a Wells Fargo on Prominence Point Parkway just before 10 a.m. after receiving a call about the disorderly customer, police said in a news release.
Witnesses told police that the man, later identified as 43-year-old Michael Roberts, threw one of the bank’s pneumatic tubes at the teller window, yelled obscenities and threatened violence before pulling out the handgun.
He left the scene before officers arrived, police said.
With the help of witness statements and the bank’s surveillance footage, police were able to identify Roberts as the suspect and secure warrants for his arrest. He was taken into custody Wednesday evening at a relative’s home in Paulding County.
Roberts is charged with aggravated assault, making terroristic threats and criminal damage to property. He remains in the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center without bond, jail records show.
