SPD issued a press release just moments ago following the arrest of two persons. According to SPD officials SFD officials namely one William Gordy and his cohort Richard Hoppes were spotted counting money in Gordys office located at the fire palace on Cypress St. Investigators have determined Gordy entered the bank requesting money to fund his outrages fire department expenditures. Using quick thinking the bank teller told Gordy NO! Not understanding what no means Gordy produced a firearm demanding money. Aiding in the robbery Hoppes awaited outside in the getaway car a 2009 Crown Victoria police interceptor.

Hmm... here's a little clue. It isn't much, but it might help. Those shoes that he is wearing are Addidas Samba's which are indoor soccer shoes. Chances are that he has played soccer or still does. How do I know? I have worn those shoes most of my life and I don't see many people wearing them these days. BTW it wasn't me, I had my work boots on today in case you were wonder. LOL

Are these criminals making the SALISBURY POLICE look silly or what? All this robbing and I have not heard that any has been caught. These crimes are all being committed in broad day light. It is just forcing innocent citizens to take arm. When is something going to get done about the high rate of crime in Salisbury?

I love how the woman is writing on the erase board in the bottom picture. Hello, your place just got robbed, go call the poe-lease

I'm sure the drug dealer this guy(?) ran to could use $3,500. Turn him in please.

I agree on the shoes - someone - probably many people - should recognize who this is from the shoes.

Branch Managers should be able to get a license to carry. Then when a robber walks out without a care like this one, they shoot him.

WBI needs to look back on more surveillance cameras. Bet this guy has been in there before to case the place out. There's cameras on the side of the bank facing the moose lodge so maybe it shows where this person really went. As said before, show some footage up close and someone could make some extra cash for the holidays.

I agree with anon 9:17 that looks like a woman. Apparently bank robbery is the crime of the times and apparently even the 115 lbs "guy" can get away with big amounts of $$!! I don't know but maybe the teller could have blew on this "guy" and knocked him down...wow I cannot believe someone fell victim to that little pip-squeak!

I believe that the banks should start making use of "Man Traps". Go ahead and Google it. These are an excellent way to deter stupid criminals from hurting/robbing banks.

Branch managers don't need a license to carry. They are on private property. All they need is the permission of the Bank for which they work.

it just makes it scary for people to even go out in public anymore. I know times are bad right now, but that does not change that I am scared to go and get in my car and go to the store bank wherever. I remember when we did not even lock our door at night time, now I believe we have to lock it during the day also.

Who cares....it is surrounded by the city and caters to the city of Salisbury so it is Salisbury's problem.

Budd .357, if you look at the time on the pictures you will realize she was writing on the board before they were robbed. Hope your not a detective.

I rode by and I saw WBOC filming, but not one cop was there and it was almost 1PM.

Your suspect is Charles Truitt, This info was provided to SPD and MSP and they said the detectives will be in the next morning. Awesome.

THAT IS SO NOT A MAN!! Look at the face, they are the cheeks of a woman. Look at the thighs, woman thighs. The smirk she has resembles that of a woman. She looks firmilair, and I can't really place the face. If the pic was clearer, and could possibly have an idea or who she is. Get away from the men, that is sooo a chick!!
