Upon arrival of Amador County Sheriff’s Deputies, it was determined that a white male adult, approximately 30 years old, clean shaven, wearing a tan beanie, sunglasses, tan long sleeve shirt with the letters HAT over the left chest pocket, tan pants and deck shoes entered the bank armed with what appeared to be a black semi-automatic pistol.  The suspect stole an undisclosed amount of U.S. currency and was last seen fleeing on foot towards Buckhorn Ridge Road.  No one was injured during this robbery.
