The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help in identifying a man who robbed a bank in Hayden, Idaho, Monday afternoon.

At about 3:50 p.m., deputies arrived to bankcda at 162 West Hayden Ave. after a call of a bank robbery, a Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office news release stated. It is unclear if the robber was armed.
