A man who robbed a U.S. Bank branch in Salmon Creek with a knife Thursday afternoon remains at large, according to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies responded just after 3:30 p.m. to the bank branch at 13001 N.E. Highway 99. A white man had entered the bank with a knife, the sheriff’s office said in a press release.

People initially reported the man was carrying a butter knife, according to emergency radio traffic monitored at The Columbian.

The man approached a teller and demanded she put cash into a bag that he brought with him, according to the press release. The man fled on foot after collecting an undisclosed amount of money.

He was not located after a search of the area, which included a sheriff’s office K-9, according to the press release. Witnesses described the suspect as 6 feet 3 inches tall with an average build, wearing dark clothing that included gloves, a hat and a scarf covering most of his face.
