MORRISTOWN, N.J. - (AP) -- Authorities are accusing a retired sheriff's officer of robbing a bank in northern New Jersey.
Harry Schnitzer of Parsippany is held on $200,000 bail.
The Morris County Prosecutor's Office says the 70-year-old entered the Santander Bank in Boonton on Wednesday, demanded money and threatened to get his gun. Authorities say he fled on foot.
Schnitzer was employed with the Essex County Sheriff's Office, where he retired as a lieutenant in 2002.
