PITTSBURGH (AP) - An FBI
agent from Pennsylvania says a suspect dubbed the "Bucket List Bandit"
who is believed to be responsible for bank robberies in nine states has
been arrested in Oklahoma City.
Jason Crouse, the acting
supervisory special agent of the FBI office in Erie, tells The
Associated Press that 54-year-old Michael Eugene Brewster was arrested
Thursday night.
The FBI nicknamed the
robber the "Bucket List Bandit" after he allegedly told a Utah bank
teller he had only four months to live.
A warrant charges Brewster
with robbing the Huntingdon National Bank branch in Erie on Monday. It
says a confidential informant gave the FBI Brewster's name and birth
date.
Authorities then reviewed
surveillance video and found an "obvious likeness" to Brewster during
robberies in Missouri, Colorado, Arizona, Idaho, Utah, North Carolina,
Tennessee and Illinois.
