ANCHORAGE, Alaska—An Alaska man has been arrested after allegedly robbing a credit union, then going shopping for a disguise and also dropping spare change in a donation bucket.
According to police, Michael B. Jensen, 34, faces a federal bank robbery charge for taking $947 from the Alaska USA Federal Credit Union in Anchorage. Jensen demanded money in a note given to a credit union teller, federal charge documents show, according to the Anchorage Daily News. A weapon was not displayed during the robbery, the FBI said.
According to authorities, surveillance video showed Jensen leaving his red jacket alongside a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant after leaving the credit union and then going to a nearby Walmart, where he bought cigarettes, a lighter, a hat, green vest and a neck covering.
He dropped spare change into a donation bucket outside the store as he left, authorities said.
Police arrested Jensen a short time later near the Anchorage Public Library. Credit union employees later identified him in a lineup, officials told the Anchorage Daily News.
