Warren County Chief Deputy Sammy Purvis said a man entered the bank about 1:20 p.m. and demanded money. As he ran away, a dye pack placed with the cash exploded, leaving a trail for police to follow.
Evidence at the crime scene led the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and FBI to Ruff’s home. He was taken to Warren County and charged with armed robbery, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
