The suspect was described as a white male, approximately 50 years old, with blue eyes and light brown hair. The U. S. Bank teller stated the male provided the name "Glenn Read" or "Glenn Reed" and left after being notified that the check was not authorized.
M. B. Also learned that approximately 25-30 minutes prior to the Oakdale incident, a male suspect entered the Woodbury U. S.
