'Polite' bank robbery suspect arrested

A man who's already served time for prior bank robberies is now the suspect in another bank robbery in central Kentucky.

The Anderson County Sheriff's Department arrested 34-year-old Jason W. Artrip, of Williamstown, after a robbery at the Town and Country Bank on the 127 Bypass in Lawrenceburg.

The bank was robbed just before 3 Tuesday afternoon.

Deputies say Artrip never showed a weapon during the robbery, and even apologized to the teller, saying he needed the money.

Deputies say a witness provided them with a description of the vehicle the suspect took off in after the robbery.

Deputies arrested Artrip shortly after at the intersection of the 127 Bypass and the Bluegrass Parkway.

Artrip recently served time in a federal prison for prior bank robberies.

Police are now investigating to see if Artrip could be responsible for other bank robberies that recently occurred in northern Kentucky.

Artrip is now being held in the Franklin County Regional Detention Center.
