On Friday, November 8, 2024, at approximately 8:20 a.m., a bank in the 800 block of 37 Avenue South reported an armed robbery. Witnesses stated an adult male entered the bank, said they had a weapon, and demanded money. After the suspect was given an undisclosed amount of cash, witnesses were able to describe the suspect and the direction of travel of the male, who had fled on foot.
Responding law enforcement officers, some who were not far away, located and detained a male at a nearby hotel in the 3600 block of 8 Street South. The suspect, Eric Flynn, was transported to the Clay County Law Enforcement Center for further questioning. Evidence was also collected after a search warrant was conducted on a hotel room he was renting, along with the clothing he was alleged to be wearing, which was found nearby. Cash from the robbery was also located in the hotel room and on his person.
Eric Flynn is being held at the Clay County Correctional Facility on a long-form complaint for Felony First Degree Aggravated Robbery. The Clay County Sheriff's Office and the Fargo Office of the FBI assisted the Moorhead Police Department.
No weapon was displayed or used, and no one was injured.
