A manhunt for the individual who robbed an Ohio bank at gunpoint earlier this week ended with the arrest of a surprising suspect.

The officers then ask Mayers to be more specific, at which time the footage shows her saying: "The robbery.".

In the end, Mayers walked away with $500 from her bank heist, according to police.

Mayers has no criminal record, according to police, who said that she may have decided to break the law after falling victim to an online scammer.

She also allegedly told family members about possibly robbing a bank in the week before the incident, McCroskey said.

Mayers also owed her sister $5,000 and another friend $65,000 after the two women supplied her with loans, said McCroskey. »
