Stow Police have arrested a 24-year-old man and charged him with aggravated robbery in connection to a robbery at the Graham Road National City Bank.

Police say the suspect was caught after a car chase, and a toy gun they suspect was used in the robbery was found along the chase route. No one was injured.

Feliks Goldshtein was charged with one felony count of aggravated robbery and one felony count of failure to comply with a lawful order of a police officer.

According to police, a man entered the bank and stood in line behind other customers while wearing a black ski mask.

The teller told him he would have to remove the mask while in the bank. Police say he didn't reply but continued to wait.

Upon approaching the teller after being told he was "next," the man told her "Give it to me" and when she didn't react immediately, he stated, "Give it all to me" and opened his coat where she said she could see a black handgun.

According to police, she then gave him an undisclosed amount of money and he placed it in his own plastic bag. The male left and drove away and was reported as last seen behind the bank in a silver-colored Altima with a crumpled hood.

Officers attempted to stop the car but the suspect fled. Other officers joined the pursuit and the car drove into a yard where the driver was apprehended by officers.

Police say money and a black ski mask were found inside the car. Police located a toy handgun in the snow on Pilgrim Drive where police suspect it had been thrown out the window during the chase.http://www.stowsentry.com/news/article/4502323

I'd give it a straight up tie on that one!

If I were a teller and someone was standing in line with a freaking ski mask on, i'd hit the silent alarm. Who cares if I may be wrong, too scary these days....

24? I'd have thought 15 maybe.

Is federal pen full of Bubba's like state? I'm wondering how long that bay face will stay pretty.

Yeah, I was wondering if his mommy knew he borrowed the car! He looks like a little kid.

Poor dude. WTF was he thinking, standing in line with a ski mask on? And I'm with ya'll on the teller--I'd have been hitting that button for sure. As a customer, I'd definitely have slid on out of there and called 911!

For some reason it seems like banks in Middle Tennessee are getting robbed every day lately. There may no be any more robberies than usual, I don't know. I've been doing the drive through thing, though. Just to be on the "safe" side. (If there is such a thing)

We really need a category like "Reality Bites Back!" just for stupid criminals and the ones the karma-monster eats.

S
TOW, Ohio -- An Ohio man may have tipped off his intentions when he stood in line at a bank wearing a ski mask before staging a holdup.

Police in Stow said Feliks Goldshtein of Highland Heights was arrested Thursday following a brief car chase.

Police said the teller asked the man to take off the mask before being served. The man displayed what turned out to be a toy gun and demanded money from the teller. He made off with an undisclosed amount.

Police Capt. Rick Myers said it's unusual for a masked robber to wait in line at a bank.

The 24-year-old man remained jailed Friday on charges of aggravated robbery and failure to comply with a police order. Court records didn't identify an attorney for Goldshtein.
