Johnstown, PA (WJAC) — Johnstown police say a local man is behind bars, nearly three years after he allegedly robbed a credit union in the city.

According to the affidavit, police say Smith was finally identified through a photo on social media.

Smith is being housed at the Cambria County Prison, on charges of robbery, theft, receiving stolen property, making terroristic threats and reckless endangerment, according to online court records.

His bail has been set at $150,000.
