The teller gave the man a stack of cash, but then he demanded more money from the electronic cash recycle machine in the bank�s lobby.

Police said the teller told the man the machine needed a driver�s license to dispense cash, so the man handed his own license over.

The license led police to the 51-year-old man who was arrested June 15 and charged with aggravated robbery and threatening with a deadly weapon.
