Sheriff's deputies captured a suspected bank robber after he held up a Bank of America and stashed the money in his shoe, officials said.

San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies booked Rogelio Vincent Roman, 20, into jail on suspicion of robbery.

Deputies came to the bank at 21777 Highway 18 at 12:25 p.m. Wednesday on a report of a robbery. The robber walked in the bank, handed a teller a note demanding money and then fled after he received cash.

A deputy driving through the area spotted a man matching the robber's description near the corner of Powhattan and Yakima roads.

The deputy questioned the man and found money taken from the bank hidden in one of his shoes.
