WESTON, Mo. (AP) — A northeast Kansas man accused of robbing a northwest Missouri bank of $26,000 now faces criminal charges in federal court.

The U.S. Attorney’s office on Thursday filed a complaint charging 29-year-old Marcus Aurellius Moon, of Olathe (oh-LAY’-thuh), with bank robbery and using a firearm in a violent crime.

The holdup occurred Wednesday morning at the Bank of Weston in Weston, Missouri.

Investigators say Moon wore a ski mask and carried a semi-automatic handgun as he ordered a teller to put cash in a bag. Authorities said Moon then demanded cash from two other employees before driving over the Missouri River into Atchison, Kansas.

Police said Moon hit law enforcement vehicles while driving several blocks through Atchison. He was arrested when his car got stuck in a residential area.
