Suspect in ATM Armed Robbery Attempt Arrested

Goose Creek Police have arrested the suspect in the  last week at a Goose Creek ATM. 

Steven A. Withers II, 21, was taken into custody on Monday for attempted armed robbery. Investigators after his picture was identified in a line-up presented to the victim.

A woman told police that she was at the machine at the South Carolina Federal Credit Union on Bridgetown Road near 10 p.m. on April 16. A man in a black hood and dark jeans approached the ATM on foot and said, "Give me the money."

She told police that she canceled her transaction and drove away. The man walked after her car, but soon turned back to the parking lot.

A Sheriff's Department K-9 unit attempted to pick up a trail, but lost it near the old Food Lion shopping center.

North Charleston investigators  who walked up to a driver at an ATM off University Boulevard on April 1 with a similar demand. As of last week, no link had been made yet in the two cases.

The victim in the North Charleston case told police that he pulled up to the ATM to make a withdraw when the man, described as a black male with a hood pulled down over his eyes, allegedly held a silver handgun and demanded the money.

According to police, the suspect stepped back and that's when the victim drove off.
