WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Police say a man tried to rob a Winston-Salem bank Friday while a uniformed deputy was inside.

Deputy J.M. Boysel with the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office said he was inside the Wells Fargo, located at 701 N. Martin Luther King Drive, when the robbery took place.

"I was in the bank. A teller motioned for me to come over to her quickly," Boysel said. "She told me she had just been robbed."

The teller gave Boysel a description of the suspect and he ran outside in hopes of catching the robber.

Boysel found a suspect matching the teller's description and arrested him at the corner of the parking lot.

"It's very ironic with a shiny car sitting here and someone with a uniform inside the bank," Boysel said. "I've been in this business almost 14 years and I'm shocked to see somebody do that with a uniformed officer inside the bank."
