     The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the armed robbery of the First National Bank and Trust at 448 N. Eglin Parkway around 11:30 a.m. Monday.

      The suspect is described as a tall, thinly built black male, approximately 18 to 30 years of age, wearing a blue short-sleeved T-shirt, brown jogging pants with a white stripe, and a black ski mask with one facial hole.

      He was last seen running across Eglin Street and jumping a fence.
