A first court appearance is scheduled Friday morning for Mark S. Pieron, 49, who was charged with one count of 2nd Degree Attempted Robbery, a Class-C felony.
Pieron is charged with trying to rob the U.S. Bank at 800 North Belt Wednesday.
Police said a man showed a note indicating a robbery to a teller just before 11 am, but left without any cash. An officer who heard a suspect description on his police radio arrested the suspect in a nearby parking lot.
A judge set bond for Pieron at $35,000. Prosecutors say Pieron has past convictions on robbery, burglary, stealing and drug charges.
