Police arrested 23-year-old Frank Lester Reddick of Landover, Md. in Southeast D.C. Friday, charging him with bank robbery.

Police said Reddick entered the Capitol One Bank on the 1200 block of F Street NW around 12:33 p.m. Feb. 17. He handed a note to the teller demanding cash. The teller complied, and Reddick ran off with the money — though police would not say how much.
