AUSTIN (KXAN) - A man in a wheelchair has been arrested after authorities say he robbed a Bank of America last week at knifepoint.

According to documents released Monday, 54-year-old Roger Albi entered the Bank of America at 515 Congress Ave. and pulled out a knife and proceeded to demand cash from the teller.

Albi allegedly got the cash from the teller as other customers feared for their safety.

Police managed to locate Albi and take him into custody.

Albi was charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, a first-degree felony. He is being held on $25,000 bond.
