DES MOINES, Iowa —
A woman accused of robbing a bank in downtown Des Moines is now in custody.
Des Moines police say they found 32-year-old Kari Lynn Martin at a motel around 7 p.m. Monday thanks to a tip.
Police say Martin walked into the U.S. Bank on the corner of Sixth Avenue and Walnut Street Monday morning, demanded money from the teller, and left after getting the cash. She never showed a weapon, according to police.
According to a criminal complaint, Martin walked into the bank and handed the teller a note that read “Give me 3 bags of money, keep quiet, wait 20 minutes.” Police said Martin told the teller “This is not a joke.”
