CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A bank robber took advantage of Wednesday's snowstorm when he robbed a downtown bank and fled on foot through gridlocked traffic.

FBI spokesman Scott Wilson said the robber handed a note to a teller at the U.S. Bank branch on Public Square at 2:15 p.m. demanding money. The note said he had a gun.

The robber took the money and ran away on foot while traffic was snarled on the downtown street.
