SARASOTA, Fla. — Authorities are searching for a man after he robbed a bank in Sarasota on Friday afternoon.

Sarasota County Sheriff's Office said the man entered USF Credit Union at 3487 Clark Road around noon and demanded money from a bank teller. He then left and ran northbound toward Bornx Avenue.

Deputies said no one was injured and an undisclosed amount of money was taken.

This is an ongoing investigation. Deputies said anyone with information about this case should contact the sheriff's office at 941-861-4900.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
