Little Rock police have taken a suspect into custody after a robbery that occurred at Centennial Bank on Friday.

It happened about 10 a.m. at the branch located at 718 S. Broadway St.

Little Rock Police Department spokesman Lt. Sidney Allen said in a statement that the robber demanded a bank teller give him money. He then ran from the bank.

A police dog tracked a suspect to a vehicle, but the vehicle fled before the officer was able to make contact with the driver, Allen said. The vehicle was later found abandoned in an area located near 6th and Rock streets.

Spokesman Sgt. Cassandra Davis said 36-year-old Michael Davis was taken into custody at 400 E. Sixth St. in a statement Friday evening. Michael Davis has been charged with aggravated robbery, theft of property and fleeing, according to the Pulaski County sheriff's office inmate roster.
