Prosecutors said Liskow entered the bank at about 10:15 a.m. and gave a teller a note reading: "I don't want to hurt anyone. Count out $2,000 into my hand. No dye pack or you'll get hurt. Merry Christmas and New Years." Liskow fled with $4,097 and was seen climbing into the passenger side of a van, which ran a stop sign as it fled the area, prosecutors said. The van was pulled over by police who recovered the money and arrested the suspects.
