(KLZA)-- The Holt County Sheriff's Department arrested a man Thursday on a charge of vehicle hijacking.
On Wednesday, December 21 the Holt County Sheriff's Department responded to a report of a bank robbery at the Citizens Bank and Trust in Mound City.
As reported earlier, the man was dressed in black and a ski mask and was brandishing a firearm and demanded cash when he entered the bank, leaving with an undetermined amount of currency. The suspect was driving a black sedan when he left the bank.
About 8:45 Thursday morning, the Holt County Sheriff's Department received a call from an individual who said they thought they saw the suspects vehicle being loaded onto a tow truck.
While the Sheriff's Department was en route to the location, the driver of the sedan attempted to take the tow truck drivers vehicle. When law enforcement arrived, the individual, 41-year-old Marvin Joe McWhorter III, of Savannah, Missouri, was taken into custody and transported to Mosaic Life Hospital in St. Joseph.
During the time McWhorter was being discharged from the hospital, he attempted to escape, but was not successful.
An FBI spokesperson said last week that no federal charges had been filed in connection with the bank robbery at that time.
An investigation into the bank robbery by the FBI and the Missouri Highway Patrol is ongoing.
