Original
Investigators with the Greenville County Sheriff's Office have charged Nathan David Neal, 31 year old white male of Easley, with one count of Armed Robbery and one count of Possession of a Weapon during Violent Crime. Deputies state that Neal entered Carolina First Bank located at
1216 Woodruff Road around 4:30 pm and handed the teller a note demanding cash. Neal then produced what appeared to be a handgun and told the teller that he was not kidding. After the teller gave him an undisclosed amount of cash Neal attempted to exit the bank through the rear doors but they were locked so he then exited back through the front doors of the bank.
Approximately thirty (30) minutes later Greenville County dispatch was advised that the suspect had been located at the Verizon Wireless Call Center located at 701 Brookfield Parkway in Mauldin. When deputies arrived on the scene they observed the security guard at Verizon Wireless was holding Neal down from leaving the scene. Deputies then took Neal into custody without incident. Neal has been placed into the Greenville County Detention on a No Bond.
This case is still under investigation and deputies may be looking for one more suspect.
