The man is believed to have walked up to a bank teller counter with the child about 2:10 p.m. June 6 at a First Convenience Bank branch inside a Walmart on Anderson Boulevard, authorities said.

The child was sitting in a shopping cart when he presented a note to the teller demanding cash, according to authorities. After he received the money, the man is believed to have pushed the shopping cart toward the exit before fleeing while carrying the child.

The FBI division described the man as white, between 35 and 45 years old and between 5′7″ and 5′9″ with a thin build. He wore a baseball hat, black sunglasses, a multicolor “fishing shirt,” khaki cargo shorts and “Hey Dude” shoes, according to authorities.
