Las Vegas man arrested in December bank robbery
Authorities on Friday arrested a 48-year-old man wanted for using a fake bomb to rob a Nevada State Bank in December.
Darrell Cleon Bolar faces a federal charge of bank robbery in connection with the Dec. 30 incident, in which authorities say he entered the bank, placed a package on the counter and claimed it was an explosive device in order to gain money.
After getting the money, Bolar left the package on the counter and walked out, according to authorities. The bank, at 230 Las Vegas Blvd. South, near Bridger Avenue., was evacuated as police investigated the package. The package contained a cigar box with batteries and wires and was deemed safe.
He was arrested without incident by FBI agents at his apartment, 3955 Swenson St., near Flamingo Road. He is being held without bail at the North Las Vegas Detention Center.
