Port Hadlock: Bank robber still at large

PORT HADLOCK — A robber who held up the Bank of America branch office remained at large Saturday, more than a day after he made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies are still searching for the suspect, described as a white male in his 50s, having a medium build and standing between 5 feet 7 inches and 5 feet 9 inches tall.

Deputies said the suspect has graying brown hair, a weathered complexion and blue eyes.

At the time of the robbery, he was wearing a full-brimmed hat, a Western-style shirt and blue jeans.

According to deputies, the robber entered the bank at 2:45 p.m. Friday, pointed a handgun at a teller and demanded cash.
