 David Glenn Manuel is accused of robbing a bank in Dayton on Tuesday afternoon.

  LIBERTY COUNTY, TX (KTRK) -- Detectives are searching for a Liberty County bank robbery suspect accused of reporting a fake bomb at a high school to distract officers from responding to his alleged heist.

He was last seen driving a silver 2006 Chevrolet four-door passenger car with the Texas License plate No. 480MTH.
