For Immediate Release:

This morning, June 9, 2017, at approximately 9:03 a.m., a man walked into the main branch of Lake City Bank, 202 E. Center Street, in Warsaw, and yelled "Give me all your f--king money". The man had a red bandana covering his hand which bank employees feared was covering a weapon. He paced the lobby and then walked out of the bank after about 15 seconds and left walking eastbound. No weapon was displayed. The subject was described as a white male in his 20's, wearing green sweat pants and no shirt. A Warsaw police officer in an unmarked car was at the drive-up/ATM on the east side of the bank when the suspect walked in front of him after leaving the bank. A bank employee alerted the officer to the attempted robbery and the suspect was taken into custody less than half a block away. No weapon was located. Warsaw Police booked 27 year old, Raymond Halsey, of Syracuse, into the Kosciusko County Jail on preliminary charges of attempted bank robbery, failure to identify, and disorderly conduct. He is being held on a $10,250 surety bond.
This investigation is ongoing.
