ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A 47-year-old man who was shot and wounded by an Albuquerque police officer now faces a federal charge of attempted bank robbery.
A federal complaint accuses Darrel Salazar of Albuquerque of trying to rob a Bank of America branch late Monday.
An FBI agent's affidavit says Salazar was followed by a customer who called 911 after Salazar ran from the bank when he failed to get any money from a teller. The affidavit says a police officer shot Salazar drew a handgun and pointed it at officers.
Salazar didn't have an attorney when he appeared in federal court Tuesday. A magistrate ordered him held pending another hearing.
