Alaska bank robber gives teller name, picture ID

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A man gave a teller his account number and showed a picture ID before robbing the bank.

Now, the FBI says Jarell Paul Arnold is being held on federal bank robbery charges.

The FBI alleges Arnold walked into an Alaska USA Federal Credit Union branch Friday afternoon and inquired about the balance on his account. The teller asked for his name, the account number and ID.

Authorities say he complied, and then handed over a receipt with a note scribbled on the back. It read, "I have a gun. Give me all the money in your drawer."

The FBI says the robber got away with about $600. Authorities arrested Arnold on Monday.

Court records say Arnold was sentenced to 57 months in prison for bank robbery in 2004.
