With a little research, there appears to be only one Kingston National Bank in Adelphi, at 11811 Main Street. With a Google search we can see how the street is arranged. The bank building is in the middle of the block that is west of the large building with the red roof. You can see the drive through arrows pointing south in the image.
Some things are cleared up immediately. Adelphi is not New York City on Times Square. It is a very small village (population 378) that is quite rural. The bank building is just another run of the mill building in the area, that does not stand out particularly.
We are not told where the men exchanged their legal property. There is not much parking in front of the bank. There is parallel parking across the street, and a small parking lot for the establishment that is diagonally south-east of the bank. A teller in the drive through might be able to see activity where the four cars are parked on the street to the west of the bank. It seems unlikely that the people in the bank could see the tiny parking lot to the rear of the bank.
I am surprised that a few people trading legal firearms raised alarms in this rural village in Ohio.
The comments from Sheriff George Lavender are equally puzzling:
According to Ross County Sheriff George Lavender Jr. , one of the men is a former deputy who left the department several years ago.Perhaps the bank tellers were transplants from Cleveland?
While no arrests were made, Lavender says he will present the case to the county prosecutor for a possible charge of inciting panic.

Jury refuses indictment in Oberlin shooting case
November 8, 2013 by Chelsea Miller
OBERLIN — A Lorain County grand jury refused to indict an Oberlin man accused of shooting four men he said were harassing him.
The case against Sean Woodings, 25, was presented to a grand jury for consideration in August, and the grand jury returned with a decision that no charges were warranted.
Woodings initially had been charged with four counts of felonious assault by police.
He was accused of shooting Quan Jackson, 23, of Oberlin; Emilio Hernandez, 26, of Lorain; Anthony Lee, 22, of Elyria; and Isiah Richardson, 17, of Oberlin, on April 25.
All of the men were treated and released from the hospital with relatively minor injuries, including bullet wounds to the arm and lower extremities. One of the men was grazed in the head by a bullet.
Woodings’ attorney Edward La Rue did not return a call for comment on Thursday, but he had previously indicated that Woodings was harassed by the alleged victims before and after the shooting.
Woodings was in the process of obtaining a civil protection order against one of the victims, and a search warrant filed in Lorain County Court of Common Pleas indicated that one of the alleged victims, Jackson, had been threatening Woodings for weeks leading up to the shooting.
Police said the threats involved money that Jackson’s ex-girlfriend, Brelan Stevens, owed to Woodings.
Jackson denied going to Woodings’ apartment with the intention of confronting Woodings, but La Rue said a group of men were standing outside of the parking lot of Woodings’ apartment prior to the shooting.
