EDGEWATER, Fla. – A man accused of robbing a bank in Edgewater on Monday was arrested Thursday in Georgia, according to police.
Henry Wayne Collier, 64, was reportedly already on federal probation for other bank robberies and had recently been released from prison after “a previous crime spree,” the Edgewater Police Department said on social media.

Collier is accused of entering the Bank of America branch at 1900 S. Ridgewood Ave. around 1:20 p.m. Monday, allegedly producing a note and firearm to the bank teller before leaving on foot, police said. A video uploaded to the police department’s Facebook page appears to show Collier on surveillance video wearing a disguise at the bank.
The video includes body-worn camera footage of officers’ response to the branch. In one instance of the video, a voice on an officer’s radio can be heard describing a suspect with a “long black wig and mask with a white T-shirt (and) a fanny pack with a gun sticking out.”
Later in the video, Collier is shown being walked from a holding location by Glynn County law enforcement officers. Photos are also included showing a wig on a table, as well as two cellphones, a pistol and ammunition.
