Charges were filed Wednesday in connection with the robbery of a Tulsa credit union last week.

Dehrain Eugene Berry Wilson, 22, is charged in Tulsa County District Court with robbery with a firearm and unlawfully wearing a mask or hood.

Wilson is accused of wearing a ski mask and being armed with a gun while demanding money from the Tulsa Teachers Credit Union at 140 E. Pine St. on Jan. 23.

The robber placed cash into a backpack, an arrest report says. A security guard then chased him out of the credit union and fired several shots at him, the report says.

About 15 minutes later, an ambulance was called for a gunshot victim in the 1600 block of North Greenwood Avenue, police said.

The report indicates that Wilson was on the floor of a home in that area when authorities arrived. He had a gunshot wound to his left arm and was taken by ambulance to a hospital.

During a search of the home, police found clothing that matched those worn by the robber and a large amount of cash in a backpack, the report says.

Officers found a loaded revolver and a black ski mask outside.

Wilson remains in the Tulsa Jail with bail set at $50,000.
