Three men taken into custody, charged with robbing TD Bank on Wade Hampton Boulevard.

Three men were arrested Wednesday night for allegedly robbing the TD Bank on Wade Hampton Boulevard earlier that day. 

Johnathan Bragg, public information officer for the Greenville Police Department, said Joshua Earle Watson, 22, James Rodriguez McGowan, 28 and Jack Jenkins Jr, 27, were all arrested. The three reside at 108 Hudson Road in Greenville. 

At roughly 11 a.m. Wednesday, two men armed with handguns entered the TD Bank on Wade Hampton Boulevard near Bob Jones University, hopped the counter and demanded money, leaving in a getaway car that was later found abandoned. There was a getaway driver waiting for the men to whisk them away in what police called a "very quick, likely organized" hit.
