According to state police, an arrest warrant was obtained Tuesday for 28-year old Matthew Lee Arthur for the robbery that occurred on April 5, 2021 at Planter’s Bank in Providence.
Around 2:30 the afternoon of April 5, 2021, Kentucky State Police Post 2 was contacted by the Providence Police Department to investigate an armed robbery that had just occurred at the Planter’s Bank. State police reported a preliminary investigation revealed that a white male, approximately 6 feet 3 inches entered the bank wearing a hoodie and mask, and demanded money while stating he had a gun.
