David L. Barnes, 52, of Bloomington is accused of armed robberies of TCF branches in Cub Foods stores in Roseville and Arden Hills, and a traditional branch on New Brighton Boulevard in Minneapolis. The robber came away with cash of $4,278, $1,427 and $150, the attorney's office said.
In the Minneapolis heist, he was holding a bouquet of flowers when he approached a teller, pulled out a gun and demanded cash, authorities said.
Police in Bloomington arrested Barnes on Jan. 11 in connection with a shoplifting and assault incident at a Wal-Mart. His clothing at the time of his arrest matched that worn by the suspect in the Roseville and Minneapolis bank robberies, a federal affidavit said.
