FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Federal officials are contributing to offer a reward to anyone who can identify a suspect who posed as a U.S. Marshal last week.

It happened September 13th at the Suncoast Credit Union on Underwood Drive in Fort Myers.

According to the Lee County Sheriff's Office, a white or Hispanic male entered the credit union that day wearing a bulletproof vest, badge, and had a holstered firearm on his hip.  The male identified himself as a U.S. Marshal and asked the staff a series of strange questions.
