Authorities said that on July 13, deputies responded to a bank robbery call at the First Convenience Bank in the 12400 block of Eastex Fwy. Authorities said they learned of an unknown man who approached the counter and presented a note that read, "I have a gun so give me the cash!"
Authorities said the employee, fearing for her safety and others, complied with the suspect's demands and gave him an undisclosed amount of money.
The suspect, who was said to be a man in his 30s, wearing a red hoodie with white letters, fled in a gray four-door sedan.
Through their investigation, authorities said they were able to identify the vehicle's license plate from surveillance video at the bank. Using the FLOCK camera systems, deputies found the suspected vehicle in the 6300 block of Laura Koppe Dr.
When deputies found the suspect, who has now been identified as Jonathan Black, they reportedly found him wearing the same clothing. He was detained at the scene. During a search, Black was also found to have the handwritten note, as well as the money stolen from the bank, HCSO said.
Authorities said that through more investigating, they learned that after robbing the First Convenience Bank, Black allegedly committed a similar-style robbery in Houston's southeast side.
Black has been charged with robbery-threats for his role in the First Convenience Bank scene.
Details on additional charges were not immediately disclosed.
