Courtney went to the Guardian Savings Bank on Colerain Avenue and was allegedly carrying a .38 caliber pistol.
He then allegedly handed a note to the bank teller that demanded money, or he would hurt the teller.
The teller gave Courtney over $1,000 before he got into a gold SUV and fled.
Green Township Police officers found Courtney in a Target parking lot on Glenway Avenue.
At the bank, investigators found a palm print that matched Courtney’s, according to court documents.
Once Courtney was arrested, he allegedly had marked bills from the bank in his possession, along with a gun.
Courtney is being held in the Hamilton County Justice Center, where he faces two additional charges of theft from a different case.
He is scheduled to be arraigned in court on Wednesday morning.
