(AP/KNZA )--Charges have been filed against a northeast Kansas man accused of robbing a bank in northwest Missouri of $26,000.

The U.S. Attorney’s office on Thursday filed a complaint charging 29-year-old Marcus Moon, of Olathe, with bank robbery and using a firearm in a violent crime.

The holdup occurred Wednesday morning at the Bank of Weston in Weston, Missouri.

Investigators say Moon wore a ski mask and carried a semi-automatic handgun as he ordered a teller to put cash in a bag. Authorities say Moon then demanded cash from two other employees before driving over the Missouri River into Atchison.

He was arrested in Atchison following a vehicle pursuit that included shots fired and a pedestrian injured when struck during the chase.

Officers say they found a loaded gun in his vehicle.
