Marietta
Police say a man attempted what he thought would be a bank robbery
downtown, but he didn't actually hold up a bank. Rather, he pulled a
handgun on employees inside a Peoples Bancorp administrative office at
206 Scammel Street.
The
gunman demanded money, employees had to tell him there was no money because
he was simply inside an office. He then fled on foot across Scammel and
north in the alley between Scammel and Wooster; Second and Third.
