Bank robbery suspect foiled when recognized at strip club
GREENWOOD, SC (AP) — Authorities say they captured a suspect in a bank robbery after he was recognized a short time later at a strip club in the Upstate.
The Index-Journal reports that the 50-year-old man, identified as Charles Michael Edenfield, is suspected of robbing a Wells Fargo bank branch in Greenwood on Wednesday.
