(KSL TV) Another armed robbery along the Wasatch front-- this time in Utah County.

A man went into the Alpine Credit Union in Lehi, just as it was closing Monday. The man had a gun and demanded money.

He ran out of the bank with a briefcase, wearing an orange construction vest.

Amber O'Brien/ Witness: "A GUY JUST CAME RUNNING AT ME FRANTICALLY AND HE WAS WEARING AN ORANGE VEST. HE JUST RAN IN THE SIDE DOOR OF THE HOTEL."

Inside the motel, the man removed his disguise and walked out the front door.

But as he was trying to leave in his truck, police surrounded the motel and took 30-year-old Justin Welcker into custody.
