Police have arrested a 33-year-old Michigan man and charged him with bank robbery after he reportedly dressed up as a woman and robbed a bank.

According to the Detroit Free Press, around 9:20 a.m. April 4, a man dressed as a woman entered a PNC Bank in Genoa Township, Mich., and announced the robbery. The "woman" flashed a handgun and showed workers what appeared to be a bomb before making off with an unknown amount of cash in a blue Ford Mustang, authorities say. 

Police executed search warrants after receiving information about possible locations for the money and a suspect. On Thursday police arrested Dewayne Ali Jr. He was arraigned Friday "on five counts of armed robbery and four counts each of bank robbery and unlawful imprisonment," the Free Press reports.
