"I'm sure he was a little more menacing than your average Santa at the mall," said state police Trooper Steve Barto.

The man fled just after noon carrying a red bag in which he had stuffed the cash, police said. Police said the getaway vehicle was a tan car -- not a sleigh.

No one was hurt during the robbery at the Commercial National Bank, about 35 miles east of Pittsburgh.
