Asiri allegedly robbed the Dollar Bank at 3029 West Liberty Ave., getting away with $20,000. The money was later recovered by law enforcement.
During the investigation, authorities learned that a man, later identified as Asiri, was wearing a surgical mask when he had handed a note to the teller demanding money, according to court documents. Police said the note indicated that he would kill people unless his demands were met. No weapon was observed.
Sentencing is scheduled for June 21.
