HOW I WOULD WRITE THIS STORY
A suspected bank robber is in jail after an early morning heist in Smithville.
Police believe Ronnie Jones, 38, of Springdale walked into the First State Bank, told the teller he had a weapon and demanded money.
The suspect left with about $10,000 and fled to a neighborhood north of the bank.
An hour later, police found Jones and a sack containing the money.
A judge set his bail at $100,000.

HOW I WOULD WRITE THIS STORY• I wrote 71 words.
• The copy I have you was 141 words.
• SVO writing, passive voice and critical thinking cut the copy nearly 50% without sacrificing critical content.
