A 31-year-old man was behind bars Thursday on suspicion of using a demand note to rob a La Mesa bank three days after Christmas.
Matthew Clive Handy, of San Diego, was arrested by San Diego Police Department officers on unrelated charges shortly after the robbery, which happened about 1:10 p.m. Dec. 28 at the Bank of the West branch on Center Drive, FBI spokeswoman Davene Butler said.
During the robbery, Handy allegedly gave a teller a threatening note demanding money, then fled on foot with cash the employee handed over, Butler said.
