Man allegedly attempts to rob bank that was still under construction

KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) -- Police say a Marietta man learned there's little money to be gained from attempting to rob a bank that is still under construction.

A report at the Kennesaw Police Department says 39-year-old Michael Donald Marshall entered the Bank of America Wednesday and demanded 500 dollars from the tellers while threatening that he had a gun.

Police say the employees told him the bank was NOT open for business and there was NO money. Police arrived as Marshall left the building empty handed.

Marshall is charged with armed robbery. Police also learned that Marshall had an outstanding warrant for shoplifting in Cobb County.
