UNC-CH student sought in Apex robbery

APEX -- Police are looking for a UNC-Chapel Hill student who they think robbed a SunTrust bank Monday.

Police have issued a warrant for Gordon Miller Goodwin, 22, charging him with common law robbery.

Karen Moon, a UNC-CH campus spokeswoman, described Goodwin as a senior, full-time student majoring in peace, war and defense studies.

In 2008, Goodwin was charged with felony possession of drugs with intent to sell and deliver, and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

The disposition of those charges is not available in state records.

A member of Goodwin's family in Cary declined to comment Wednesday night about the bank robbery charges.

Apex police think Goodwin entered the SunTrust bank inside the Kroger at 940 U.S. 64 at 6:20 p.m. Monday and handed a bank employee a note demanding money.

Security cameras show the suspect was a white man with brown hair, who was wearing a navy sweatshirt, dark jeans and a gray ball cap with a white logo on the front.

Goodwin may be driving a black 2002 Chrysler Sebring with N.C. license plate AHN9349.
