TWO ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH BANK ROBBERY

     The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has taken two people into custody in connection with the robbery of the First National Bank & Trust in Ocean City last Friday.

     29-year old China Nico Till and 31-year old Donald Gene Till, both of 1002 Joan Avenue in Fort Walton Beach , were taken into custody without incident around 4 p.m. this evening during a traffic stop on Highway 98 in the Florosa area. A BB gun was the only weapon found with the pair.

     Investigators believe the Tills are also responsible for a bank robbery Wednesday in Louisiana . The couple is currently in the process of being interviewed and booked.

    More information on the charges will be made available as soon as possible.
