Detectives arrested Eric Kennedy of Hillsboro, Ohio, at a hotel about 10 a.m. Wednesday. Kennedy remained at the Faulker County jail without bond on counts including aggravated robbery and theft of property.

Officers said they recognized Kennedy from surveillance photos released from Monday’s robbery of the Centennial Bank.

After he was given some cash, the man left the bank.
