On Nov. 22, Freytag allegedly went into the Fifth Third Bank on Far Hills Avenue in Kettering and handed the bank teller a note that said, “Please give me the money without saying a thing,” according to an affidavit and statement of facts filed last month in Kettering Municipal Court.

He then reportedly whispered “hurry” to the teller, causing her to fear for her safety and withdraw $800 for Freytag.

Police found and arrested Freytag on Pennlyn Avenue.

Freytag remains booked in the Montgomery County Jail. His next court date is Dec. 5.
