A Tuscaloosa man was arrested on burglary charges after he allegedly broke into a bank on Christmas Day, police said.

Tuscaloosa police officers responded to an alarm around 8:24 a.m. Monday at the Trustmark Bank and Mortgage building at 2324 University Blvd., where they found the door to the bank unsecured. Inside, they found 46-year-old Dennis Edward Hancock inside a common foyer between the bank and an upstairs apartment and "in possession of items that were similar to items found inside of the business," police said.

Hancock was booked at the Tuscaloosa County Jail on third-degree burglary charges. He was being held in the jail on $2,500 bond, according to the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office.
