Following a bank robbery in January, Nashville authorities have successfully apprehended one of the two suspected culprits, while the search continues for his alleged accomplice. According to a statement obtained by the Nashville Government website, Jaylan Smith, 18, is now in police custody facing robbery charges with a bond set at $75,000. The incident in question occurred at the Fifth Third Bank located on 5550 Old Hickory Boulevard.
Law enforcement officials detailed that during the January 29 bank robbery, one man passed a note to a teller demanding money while his accomplice stood by the door.
