ARDMORE, Okla. (KFOR) – A man robbed an Oklahoma bank while wearing a long, red wig, and FBI investigators are asking the public for help identifying him.
The wigged suspect robbed American National Bank, 1901 N. Commerce St., in Ardmore at approximately 3:16 p.m. Friday.
The suspect is described as a white male, around 5’6″ to 5’7″ tall. He wore a long, red wig, red face mask, dark long-sleeve shirt with a gold reindeer image on its front, dark pants and sunglasses on his forehead during the robbery, according to FBI officials.
