WAYNESVILLE — Police have issued an arrest warrant for a woman who they say is responsible for Wednesday’s mid-day robbery of a local bank.

Amber Music, 23, was named as a suspect in the robbery of the LCNB bank in downtown Waynesville following a positive identification by a witness, according to Waynesville Police Chief Gary Copeland.

A woman entered the 9 N. Main St. bank at about 3:28 p.m. Wednesday, and placed a small multi-colored bookbag with a drawstring top on the counter and handed the teller a note demanding money, threatening to shoot the teller if she did not, police said.

No weapon was displayed and no other customers were inside the bank, according to Sgt. Shane Wiseman of the Waynesville Police Department.

Music is described by police as a white female with brown hair and eyes who stands about 5 feet, 3 inches tall, weighed 135 pounds and appeared to be missing some teeth. She was wearing a brown hooded sweatshirt, a brown knit hat with a small bill, and blue jogging pants with a white stripe.

She fled the bank with an undetermined amount of cash in an unknown direction.

A witnessed identified Music via a photo line-up at approximately 11:45 p.m. Wednesday night, Copeland said. Police checked several addresses where Music was known to reside in Waynesville, Corwin, Lebanon, and Blanchester but did not find the woman.

Police said Music is possibly with Joshua Romime, 21. She is also wanted by Franklin Police on an unrelated charge.

The bank robbery was the first Copeland could remember happening in the small village in northeastern Warren County. Waynesville police are collaborating with the Warren County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI. Anyone with information is asked to call Wiseman at (513) 897-8010 or sheriff’s Detective David Spadafore at (513) 695-1388.
