A suspect in a Bowling Green, Ky., bank robbery in which a Florala woman is charged was found dead in Tennessee.

Law enforcement had been searching the Cottontown area for a man who fled on foot from a van that officers said was used as the getaway vehicle in the robbery Tuesday morning of Citizens First Bank on Campbell Lane in Bowling Green.

The driver of the van, 53-year-old Colleen Sue Watkins, of Florala, Ala., was taken into custody. She was charged with first-degree robbery and has been returned to Kentucky, the Bowling Green Daily News reported.

Sumner County (Tenn.) Sheriff Sonny Weatherford said a neighbor called police about 5 p.m. Wednesday when she went to a home and found the homeowner, a truck driver, dead. Investigators later discovered the second body.

The suspect allegedly had broken a door window to get inside the home. It is believed that a gun battle ensued when the homeowner, a truck driver, got home, he said.
