A man facing a robbery charge has been arraigned in Lima Municipal Court.
Brandon Allen Sr. is facing a felony two charge of robbery. He is accused of robbing Union Bank located at 1410 Bellefontaine Avenue on March 8th.
A bond has been set in his case at $200,000 cash surety.
Just before 10:00 AM Tuesday morning, police responded to the Union Bank at 1410 Bellefontaine Avenue.
On arrival, officers learned a suspect, now identified as 36-year-old Brandon Allen Sr. of Lima, entered the bank wearing a surgical mask. He passed a note to the teller saying he had a gun and demanded money from the drawer and safe. He then fled with an undisclosed amount of money.
Later in the day, police officers and members of the tactical unit were seen conducting a search warrant for Allen at 953 Bellefontaine Avenue, briefly shutting down Bellefontaine Avenue.
Brandon Allen was eventually located in the area of State Street and Jameson Avenue and was taken into custody following a short foot pursuit.
A hearing has been set in Allen’s case for March 17th in Lima Municipal Court.
