TRUSSVILLE — The FBI, Jefferson County sheriff’s office and Trussville police have now stopped searching for a suspect in a bank robbery in Trussville.
Authorities said a black male with a small, semi-automatic handgun walked into First Commercial Bank at 109 S Chalkville Road Trussville around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday and demanded money.
The suspect got away with an undisclosed amount of money, and fled on foot.
Jefferson County K-9 units searched for the suspect in a wooded area off Watterson Parkway after he shed an article of clothing. He is described as 5-foot-4 and was wearing a black shirt with a white undershirt and shorts.
More information will be added as it becomes available.

Why would they report that they’ve stopped searching?
Bonnie Smith Smothers
Goodness! Why report you are no longer looking if he’s still out there? I am guessing you think he does t have a phone or social media or his friends don’t?

Article didn’t really give much info, which is typical of bank robberies. White, black, hispanic? Did he leave on foot or in an automobile? Wonder how he negotiated traffic on Hwy or N. Chalkville Rd. Probably headed south toward Roper Road, then out to Leeds and the interstate … long gone.

They must have added to the article because it actually does describe a good bit of information.

First Commercial. It says in the article.

Maybe they are not physically looking in the woods anymore but have not closed the case.
Branden Saccomani
Soooo….they just left him in the woods. It’s not far from us- a little concerning.
Donna Coughlin Huggins
I’m sure he got out of the woods and headed to his mamas house

The original story had all of this information. The only information updated was the active search ending.
