South Dakota Inmate Suspected Of Robbing Minnesota Bank

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Authorities say the man suspected of robbing a bank in a St. Paul suburb last week is an inmate who escaped from prison the night before in South Dakota.

Roseville police say Clint Eldeen walked into Bremer Bank on Saturday morning and demanded money from a teller, implying he had a gun.

Officials say the teller provided Eldeen an undisclosed amount of money and the man fled in a stolen Pontiac Grand Am, which was found abandoned several minutes later in a parking lot.

The South Dakota Department of Corrections confirms that Eldeen is an inmate in the minimum-security unit of the State Penitentiary in Sioux Falls. He was last seen leaving the prison just before 7 p.m. on Friday.

Eldeen has not yet been found.
