COLUMBUS, Miss. -- It wasn't hard for police to track down the man they say robbed a Trustmark Bank this week -- the suspect apparently left his wallet and identification at the scene of the crime.
Terrell Green, 26, of Jackson, Miss., was charged with Wednesday's robbery.
Police Lt. Tom Thompson said a man walked into the bank wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and sunglasses, and handed the teller a note from his wallet demanding money.
When the teller asked what she should do with the money, the man handed her a white pillowcase into which she placed seven $100 bills, 17 $50 bills and numerous smaller bills and a dye pack.
The man took the pillowcase and left, authorities said, leaving his wallet.
Investigators went to the suspect's mother's home and arrested Green as he was walking out the front door.
