A 61-year-old homeless man today was charged with Wednesday’s robbery of the Hilo branch of Central Pacific Bank.

Lelome Kahaualoa Rogers was being held in lieu of $70,000 after being charged with second-degree robbery and second-degree theft.

Rogers was arrested at 2:04 p.m. Wednesday on Aupuni Street, less than a half-hour after a man gave a teller at the bank a note and then fled with an undisclosed amount of money.
