FBI Houston says the man suspected of robbing a PNC Bank in Cypress last week has been arrested.

Samuel Everrett Williams was taken into custody by FBI Houston’s Violent Crime Task Force, the Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Task Force, and deputies with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office at his home.

FBI Houston says Everrett was out on parole for a 2012 bank robbery conviction. He has been booked into the Harris County Jail.

The robbery happened last Friday at the PNC Bank located at 14213 Cypress Rose Hill Road in Cypress.

Authorities say a man entered the bank and demanded cash from a teller. He didn’t display a weapon, but he told the teller that he had one and threatened to brandish it if she didn’t comply.

The teller gave an undisclosed amount of cash to the suspect, who then fled on foot in an unknown direction.
