VERSAILLES, Ky. (LEX 18) — The Versailles Police Department has announced the arrest of a Texas man accused of robbing a PNC bank on Thursday.
A Sunday press release writes that 37-year-old Xavier Green from Houston, Texas was arrested on Sunday for allegedly robbing a Versailles bank.
According to the release, Green allegedly entered the Versailles PNC Bank on Lexington Road around 3:30 p.m. on Thursday and demanded an undisclosed amount of cash. The bank teller complied and Green exited the bank.

Green is awaiting his initial appearance in court and will be prosecuted by Commonwealth Attorney Kelli Kearney.
According to the press release, the case was investigated by the Versailles Police Department in part thanks to the Lexington Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
