Police are on the hunt for a man accused of robbing a local bank in Harrogate.

According to Claiborne County Sheriff Bobby Brooks, a man walked into Home Federal Bank at approximately 4:39 p.m. with his hair and neck covered. He produced a note, and as a result the employee emptied the drawer. The man then left the bank on foot traveling east on Washington Avenue.

According to a text message sent out by Lincoln Memorial University, the alleged culprit was a white male with a goatee and tattoos on his face.
