AUSTINTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – An 83-year-old bank robbery suspect remains locked up in the Mahoning County Jail after appearing in court Monday.
Having already spent the last four days behind bars, 83-year-old Forrest Lytell appeared in Austintown Court via video from the Justice Center dressed in jail orange.
Lytell was arrested last Thursday, just a week after his birthday. Police say he had held up the PNC Bank branch on Mahoning Avenue by handing the teller a handwritten note demanding all her money or else.
According to police reports, the bank teller handed just over $600 to Lytell, including several bills that could be tracked. Officers were able to quickly catch up with him and recover the money.
