Man arrested following Wausau hold-up

Wednesday, January 11, 2012

A man was arrested in Wausau within an hour of robbing a credit union yesterday afternoon.

David Samuelson allegedly entered the Tower Credit Union on Bridge Street, showed a hand gun, then demanded money, according to police. The incident happened just after 1:30.

An employee followed him out while calling police informing them of the direction the suspect was going. He was found near the Wisconsin River changing his clothes where he was arrested without incident. They found a jacket, vest, glove and t-shirt that the robber was wearing.

Police are still searching for a getaway car and also the gun used. Detectives wonder whether Samuelson actually got away with any money. The credit union closed its lobby after the hold up.
