A Brooklyn man has been charged with an attempted bank robbery in White Plains Thursday afternoon.
Authorities say Justin Panariello was looking for money to buy drugs when he attempted to rob the Bank of America at 206 Main St.
He's accused of handing a note to the teller that read, "This is a stick up, please give me all the money you have and no one will get hurt."
The teller reportedly hid from the man, and did not hand over any money.
The suspected was positively identified by witnesses a short time later in front of 23 Mamaroneck Ave.
