FIRST REPORT: Police searching for suspect in Springfield bank robbery

Rodney J. Oglesby, 33, of 908 W. Rose St., pleaded not guilty to one count of robbery in the Clark County Municipal Court on Wednesday. Bond was set at $10,000.

The Springfield Police Division was called to the Security National Bank: Western Office, 920 W. Main St. at about 3:50 p.m. Tuesday.
