Greenville Bank Robbery Suspect Apprehended

Investigators with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office have charged Nathan David Neal, 31 year old white male of Easley, with one count of Armed Robbery and one count of Possession of a Weapon during Violent Crime.

Deputies state that Neal entered Carolina First Bank located at
1216 Woodruff Road around 4:30 pm and handed the teller a note demanding
cash. Neal then produced what appeared to be a handgun and told the
teller that he was not kidding. After the teller gave him an undisclosed
amount of cash Neal attempted to exit the bank through the rear doors
but they were locked so he then exited back through the front doors of
the bank.

Approximately thirty (30) minutes later Greenville County dispatch was
advised that the suspect had been located at the Verizon Wireless Call
Center located at 701 Brookfield Parkway in Mauldin. When deputies
arrived on the scene they observed the security guard at Verizon
Wireless was holding Neal down from leaving the scene. Deputies then
took Neal into custody without incident. Neal has been placed into the
Greenville County Detention on a No Bond.
