The Marion County Sheriff's Office is investigating a robbery at Commercial Savings Bank on Barks Road on Friday. The robbery report came into the sheriff's office at just after noon.

The male suspect entered the bank at 195 Barks Road West and displayed a note to a bank teller and he then fled the area on foot. No one was injured during the incident.

The suspect is a white male, approximately five feet eight inches tall, and between 160 and 170 pounds.

He had a small amount of facial hair described as a five o’clock shadow and large framed glasses with thick lenses. The suspect is believed to be in his late twenties or early thirties.
