12:30 PM - A disheveled man reportedly entered the Trader's Bank in Spencer about noon today, with early reports indicating he had a gun or knife, unconfirmed.

Bank officers called law enforcement and the man fled through a back door.

Early reports did not indicate the man was involved in holding-up the bank, but shortly a search was on for what appeared to be a hold-up.

Spencer Police, State Police and the Roane County Sheriff's Department quickly responded to the bank, located on the corner of Main and Market Streets.

Bank employees said a man had a cut on his hand.

The suspect was wearing a gray t-shirt, was wearing blue jeans, and had a tattoo on his left forearm.

A report said the man entered a nearby barber shop, removing his t-shirt, after which he apparently fled.

Officers converged to the corner of Market St. and Bartlett Avenue about 12:30 p.m., with some sources saying the man was apprehended.

Authorities are now interviewing Traders Bank employees.
