TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Tallahassee Police say they have caught the two people involved in Thursday's robbery at First Commerce Credit Union (FCCU).

on Friday, TPD's lead investigator on the case said four people identified 51-year old Dwane L. Walker as the suspected robber and the investigator submitted warrants for his arrest. The US Marshals Task Force was called in and found and arrested Walker at the Baymont Inn & Suites on North Monroe Street.

TPD says Violent Crimes Investigators identified an additional person, 48-year old Reginald Fryson, who was also charged for his involvement in the robbery.

Police say Walker went in to the FCCU on Old Saint Augustine Road, presented the teller a note that read: "Hand me $100,000 in my hand right now. No bait money. I have a gun and will use it."

The bank teller complied and said Walker walked out the front door with more than $5,000.

There were several other employees and customers inside the bank at the time of the robbery. Fortunately no one was hurt.

Both men are charged with robbery and grand theft.
