A West Columbia woman was arrested as a suspect in a bank robbery Thursday morning.

Satorius Zayevon Martin, 30, who lives in West Columbia, was arrested around 1:30 p.m. Thursday. Earlier that same day, around 11:30 p.m., West Columbia police received a report that a robbery had occurred at the Security Federal Bank on Sunset Boulevard.

The FBI and the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department joined the West Columbia Police Department’s investigation, which led to Martin’s arrest a few hours later.

Martin was booked into the Lexington County Detention Center and charged with robbery/burglary of a bank, deposit or loan with intent to steal. Police did not disclose how much was stolen from the bank or provide any other details of the robbery in an arrest statement released Thursday afternoon.
