Man accused of robbing bank downtown arraigned Tuesday

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – A homeless man accused of robbing a bank in downtown Rochester was arraigned in City Court on Tuesday.

Rochester Police say 57-year-old Terry Williams went into the Key Bank inside Bausch & Lomb Plaza on Monday at 3 p.m., demanding cash and threatening he had a gun, although he didn’t show it. He left with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Working off a description, Rochester Police found him in the area of St. Paul and Mortimer streets with the stolen money from the bank.

Williams, who the Monroe County District Attorney’s Office say is a predicate felony offender, was charged with robbery in the third-degree. He will appear in court Friday for a preliminary hearing.
