NORTHAMPTON - A Holyoke man started a panic at a King Street bank Thursday morning when he told a teller he would rob them if he didn't get the money out of his account, police said.
According to Lt. Michael Patenaude, at 11 a.m., at least five police cruisers were dispatched to 297 King St. for a report that a customer inside Easthampton Savings Bank was threatening to rob the place.
Patenaude said Romando Johnson, 28, was arrested on charges of threatening to commit a crime and disorderly conduct after a confrontation with one of the bank's tellers.
"I guess he went into the bank to close out an account and it had a negative balance," Patenaude said. "He told one of the tellers to give him the money he had put into the bank or he would rob them."
