The bank robber

who died when he was shot by a police officer in Union City Tuesday morning

bagged the cash himself in a small zippered bag he brought to the heist,

according to an account of the robbery provided by the Federal Bureau

of Investigation.

The unidentified

gunman entered the RBC Centura Bank after 10 a.m., producing a small handgun

and telling everyone to put their hands up, police said. He then jumped

the counter and filled the bag with cash, police said.

During the

robbery, the suspect confronted a uniformed Fulton County police officer,

ordering him to the floor at gunpoint, police said. The officer complied

to avoid danger for the others inside the bank, but after the robber left

the officer chased the gunman on foot, police said.

As the gunman dashed toward the Wal-Mart parking lot behind the bank,

he fired at the officer, who returned fire, killing the suspect.

The driver

of the getaway car originally eluded officers, but he was captured about

an hour after the incident near the Cracker Barrel on Ga. Highway 138

after he ditched the getaway car, police said.

Eric Dewan Green, 26, of Panama City, Fla., faces federal charges of participating

in a bank robbery resulting in a fatality, according to the FBI.

The getaway

vehicle, a car rented from Panama City, was found at a motel near the

bank and is being processed for evidence by the FBI.

Union City Police Chief Mike Isome said the city has had three bank robberies

in the past three months and all of the suspects have been apprehended

at the scene.

Catching the

getaway driver was difficult because of the various descriptions of the

suspect which were originally reported to police, Isome said.

"At first

we weren't sure if we were looking for a white guy or a black guy,"

Isome said Tuesday afternoon after Green was apprehended.
