Suspect in NBT robbery arrested

EDMESTON – On June 5, members of the Otsego County Sheriff’s Office, as well as the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, executed a search warrant at a Madison County residence in regard to the ongoing investigation of the robbery at the NBT bank in Edmeston on May 23.
As a result of this investigation, authorities arrested Dennis D. Gelatt, 31, of Earlville.
Gelatt was charged with robbery in the second degree, a class C felony. He was arraigned in the Town of Edmeston court and remanded to the Otsego County Correctional Facility on $25,000 cash bail.
On May 23, at 11:06 a.m., the Otsego County 911 call center took an emergency call from an alarm monitoring system reporting a robbery at the NBT Bank, located at 1 West St. in the Village of Edmeston.
According to a release issued by the Otsego County Sheriff’s Office, it is alleged that Gelatt entered the bank and waited in line with other customers. When he got to the teller’s window, he demanded cash. No weapon was displayed, but authorities say one was “implied.”
When Gelatt obtained the cash, he fled the bank on foot, running to a parked vehicle on West Street. Gelatt then allegedly drove away from the bank heading west on Otsego County Highway 20.
Following the robbery, the Unadilla Valley Central School was placed on lockdown.
The suspect was originally described as a white male in his mid to late 20's, approximately 5'7'' to 5'10'' tall and of thin build. This man escaped with an undetermined amount of cash at that time.
The investigation crossed multiple jurisdictions, and is another example of a collaborative effort by law enforcement. The New York State Police, Madison County Sherriff’s Office and Otsego County District Attorney John Muehl were all involved in the investigation.
The Otsego County Sheriffs Office would like to thank the public for their tips and assistance.
