Suspect Charged in Cuyahoga Falls Bank Robbery

Steven C. Dagostine, 43, of Tallmadge, was charged Tuesday and will be arraigned in Stow Municipal Court.

Steven C. Dagostine, 43, of Tallmadge, was charged Tuesday with aggravated robbery, a first-degree felony, in connection with Sunday's Huntington Bank heist in Cuyahoga Falls, the Falls News-Press reports. Fortunately, police did not have to track him down as Dagostine is already being held in Summit County Jail for allegedly robbing a bank in Akron last week. Dagostine will be arraigned in Stow Municipal Court this week. On Sunday morning, Dagostine allegedly walked into the Giant Eagle-Huntington Bank, handed the teller a note demanding money and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. According to Cuyahoga Falls police, he claimed to have a gun, but was reportedly unarmed.
