GRAFTON, Ohio — A LaGrange Township man was arrested Monday in connection to two November bank robberies in Grafton.
Mark Wilson faces two charges of robbery and two charges of felony theft, according to a news release from the Grafton Police Department.
He was arraigned in Elyria Municipal Court Tuesday and is being held in Lorain County Jail on a $300,000 bond, according to court records. Wilson is scheduled for a preliminary hearing at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 9, according to court records.
Wilson is accused of robbing the Talmer Bank Nov. 4, 2016 and First Merit Bank Nov. 25, 2016, police say. Wilson demanded money from tellers at Talmer Bank, but no gun was shown during the robbery, police said.
