Police were called to the bank, located on La. 14 By-pass, around 9:45 a.m. Friday. The caller said a man was inside asking for a large amount of cash, passing a note to the teller that there were bombs all around teh building.
The caller described the man and what he was wearing, and when police arrived a few minutes later, he was still standing at the bank teller's window.
