It was a scary morning for employees at the Wells Fargo Bank in Marquez.
The Leon County Sheriff's Office says the bank was robbed about 9:30 this morning.
According to the department, the robber used a pistol and possibly a hand grenade, before making off with what investigators call a large amount of cash.
No bank employees were hurt, but they were locked in a bathroom, and threatened with violence if they escaped.
Texas Rangers, the FBI, and Leon County sheriff's investigators are still looking for the robber, and any possible accomplices.
Suspect descriptions are vague, because they say the man was wearing a disguise.

The mayor we just elected is going to try and get us some city police officers but I think the Leon Co Sheriff's Dept has been doing a good job thus far. Up until this gas boom bringing more and more ppl to Marquez it never made sense to have the city pay for a full time police presence.

It will happen again. There is no law in Marquez and people know it. The only time you see the law in town is when something like this happens. The county commisioners and sheriff need to wake up before someone gets killed.
