A man who robbed a Metter bank Monday morning didn't get very far, thanks to an alert citizen and fast-responding police. Badru Osaze Johnson, 26, of Savannah, entered Sea Island Bank on South Lewis Street in Metter around 11:30 a.m., said Metter police Chief Mack Seckinger. Johnson entered the bank and presented tellers a note stating that he had a gun and demanding an undisclosed amount of cash, Seckinger said.
