OKLAHOMA CITY -- The FBI says that three people, including a bank employee, have been arrested in connection with a robbery at a bank in Shawnee.

The FBI says Phillip Tyler Wayne Hammons, Abijah Aaron Gribble and Colin James Vardy Smart were arrested over the weekend. The three are accused in the July 8 robbery of a First United Bank branch in Shawnee.

Authorities say an armed man wearing a black ski mask entered the bank and demanded money. He fled with a second man in a small, black two-door car. Police say Hammons was an employee at the bank.

The three men are being held in Shawnee and face federal bank robbery charges. They're due in federal court later this week.
