A Tennessee man has been arrested for a bank robbery that occurred in Danville on Wednesday. 39-year-old Kevin Brett Collins was arrested in Rockingham County, North Carolina following a brief foot pursuit that ensued after he was seen walking away from a motorcycle that was stopped on the shoulder of Route 29.
Collins will be extradited back to Virginia to face charges of robbery, grand larceny and use of a firearm in commission of a felony. Collins is being held in the Rockingham County Jail for additional charges unrelated to the robbery in Danville.
The robbery occurred on Wednesday morning at Carter Bank and Trust in the 900 block of S. Main St. at 11:13 am. Collins approached the counter, produced a handgun and demanded money. He then left the scene on a blue motorcycle.
