Arrest Made in Dunedin Bank Robbery

A 31-year-old man described as a transient by Pinellas County Sheriff’s deputies has been charged with the Friday robbery of a Dunedin bank.

According to the sheriff’s office, the Aug. 14 robbery unfolded around 1:46 p.m. when a man walked into Valley National Bank, 1352 Main St. The man, deputies say, told the teller “this is a robbery.” He implied, an email from the sheriff’s office said, that he had a weapon.

After receiving cash, the man fled on foot.

During the course of their investigation, deputies were able to tie a man already charged in two previous Clearwater bank robberies to the Dunedin crime.

Clinton Archer Wells now faces an additional count of robbery with an implied weapon on top of the two the police department charged him with.

Wells remained in the Pinellas County Jail Wednesday.
