Bank Robber Arrested After Heist At Marietta Wells Fargo: Authorities

MARIETTA, GA -- A Marietta man has been arrested after allegedly robbing a Wells Fargo bank in the city, Cobb police said Thursday. Officers were called to the bank around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday in the 2500 block of Dallas Highway in Marietta and made an arrest a short time later.

Steven Randall McCall, 43, of Marietta is charged with armed robbery and three counts of aggravated assault, all felonies, according to Cobb police spokeswoman Alicia Chilton.

Investigators allege that McCall entered the bank and aimed a gun at bank tellers, demanding money. When the suspect got an undisclosed amount of cash, he fled the scene on foot.

The police department’s Crimes Against Persons Unit is still investigating an armed robbery, she said.

The incident follows a string of high-profile incidents at banks in recent days. Last week, a Marine caused a SWAT situation at a Wells Fargo on Windy Hill Road, resulting in his death. Authorities are also looking for a woman whom they say has stuck up several banks in the metro area, including one in East Cobb.
