Bryan E. Anderson, 39, was arrested shortly after the robbery last Friday evening by Indiana State Police. Anderson was driving a vehicle that matched the description of the getaway car. A 16 year veteran firefighter, he has been placed on administrative leave by the Washington Township / Avon Fire Department.

Police say the robber slipped a teller at the First Financial Bank a note demanding money, and the teller complied. Witnesses provided police with a description of the robber’s vehicle.
