A joint investigation between Metro Nashville Police and Brentwood Police resulted in the arrest of a man who allegedly assaulted and robbed two people outside of banks on Tuesday.

According to BPD, around 11:40 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 23, a masked man, later identified as 32-year-old Deandre Lee Robinson, assaulted a man outside of a Brentwood Truist Bank branch.

Witnesses reported seeing Robinson flee in a black sedan, and two hours later, MNPD said that Robinson was involved in the assault and robbery of another person, a 91-year-old woman, outside of a Nashville Truist Bank location.

Police said that Robinson entered the Nashville bank at 1:41 p.m. and waited inside the bank before walking out and stopping beside the victim's vehicle.

“The victim was walking back to her vehicle after making a transaction at the bank when she was approached by two masked and armed individuals,” MNPD said. “She began to run. They chased her and pushed her to the ground before taking her money.”

Police are still searching for two unidentified suspects.

Robinson was booked in the Williamson County Jail on a charge of aggravated robbery. 

He is expected to be arraigned in Nashville on a charge of facilitation of aggravated robbery and gun theft at a later date.
