Customers upset at bank failure but let money stay put

DANVILLE – Danville resident Willie Woods withdrew $700 from his First National Bank of Danville-Westville savings account on Thursday morning to pay some bills. When he heard that federal regulators had taken over the failed bank later that afternoon, his initial reaction was to empty out the rest of the account.

"I went back, but the doors were locked," said Woods, a longtime customer. "It was kind of scary. I was like, 'What's going on?'"
