FBI agents from Pittsburgh arrested a man Thursday for allegedly stealing $136,000 from Northwest Bank in Middlesex Township during an armed robbery Saturday.

The FBI identified the suspect as Matthew Milliron, whose address and age were not available. He is being held in the Allegheny County jail. His initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh has been scheduled for Sept. 8.

A lone armed white man with a black handgun and a gaiter pulled over his face entered the bank at 1421 Pittsburgh Road at 11:46 a.m. and demanded money from a female teller, Laruen Scott, FBI special agent, wrote in a criminal complaint.

Initially, the teller thought the man was joking.

“He then pulled out a black pistol, grabbed me by my neck, put the gun in my back, shoved me in my back, (and) told me it was not a joke (and) if I kept laughing he would kill my family at my house,” Scott said, quoting the teller.
