Dale Swain, 55, a regular user of the branch, was immediately identified following the robbery, which occurred just before 3:30 p.m. Wednesday. A credit union employee said Swain was a frequent visitor and had filed a claim against the credit union on March 11, claiming she fell down in the parking lot.

During the alleged robbery, Swain entered the branch and handed a teller a series of three notes demanding cash. The amount of money stolen was not disclosed. No weapon was displayed.

She left through the main doors and entered the front passenger seat of a red Chevrolet Cavalier. The male driver of the vehicle was found later that day at his apartment on Robinson Road and questioned.
