At approximately 3:23 p.m., police responded to the Village Bank for a report of a bank robbery. The suspect reportedly handed a note to the teller alleging he had a weapon but did not display it. He exited the bank with an unspecified amount of money and crossed Wyman Street into the parking lot of the Waban MBTA station. No injuries to any of the bank employees were reported. The suspect is described as a tall, black male about 17-19 years old, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and ripped jeans. He also is described to have a small patch of facial hair on his chin.

Tahyr Baramovacih Seyidov, 43, of Watertown was arrested around 9:43 p.m. after police were called to the area of Walnut and Washington streets for a report of an erratic driver. While en route, dispatchers told police that a grey Honda Accord was "all over the road" and approaching Walnut and Watertown streets. Officers observed the car take a right onto Watertown Street and stop against the curb across from the street. Police did not have to initiate a traffic stop. The driver attempted to exit the car and police ordered him to close the door. He attempted again to open it and police told him a second time to close it. As the officer approached the car he was overwhelmed by the smell of alcohol. Police determined that Seyidov was driving under the influence of alcohol and placed him under arrest. He was charged with operating under the influence of liquor and a marked lanes violation.
