Police said two hours before the SECU robbery, Richardson went into the First Citizens Bank at 4004 North Roxboro Street and told the tellers "This is a stickup." He then said he was joking and left.

Richardson allegedly later entered the SECU in a hat, a blue shirt, and sunglasses and demanded money. No weapon was seen and he fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Richardson is being held at the Durham County Jail.
