Salem Police arrested a 63-year-old man who is accused of robbing a bank Friday afternoon.
Officers responded to the Washington Federal Bank at 2955 Broadway St. NE at 3:50 p.m. Aug. 9 after employees reported a man identified as Bernardino Muniz threatened a bank teller, demanded money and displayed a handgun, according to a statement from the department.
