Kentucky State Police have charged a Louisville man with the armed robbery of a bank in Henry County, but the suspect was already in jail on other charges.
Gregory P. Hiner, 46, is charged with one count of robbery.
The robbery happened around 11 a.m. October 14 at the United Citizen’s Bank and Trust in New Castle. The suspect gave the tellers a note saying he had a gun in his waistband. Kentucky State Police investigators said the note was written on a piece of paper from the owner’s manual of a Lexus.
State police said the owner’s manual of the 2011 Lexus owned by Hiner was found to be missing the same page. Other pages that had been torn from the manual matched pages found at the bank robbery scene.
Bond for Hiner, who court records say is on parole for a previous robbery conviction, was set at $15,000 cash during his arraignment Tuesday in Jefferson District Court.
Hiner is also facing charges in two other cases in Jefferson County. One of those is the October 3 robbery of a video game store on Dixie Highway. Bond in that case has been set at $25,000 cash.
The other Louisville case involved his arrest on October 21 by Jeffersontown police on charges of trafficking in cocaine, possession of heroin, criminal possession of forged instrument, theft of motor vehicle and failure to have insurance.
Hiner will face a judge on those charges Wednesday morning at the Hall of Justice.
