Great Southern Bank is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of a bank robber Thursday.

The bank robbery happened at the Great Southern Bank branch at Chestnut and College shortly before noon. The teller told police the bank robber said he had a gun and demanded money. He then left the bank with cash.

We first reported about an arrest of a possible suspect nearby. Police now say that suspect was wanted on warrants unrelated to the bank robbery.
