FBI Launches Electronic Billboard Campaign to Identify Serial Robber

The Knoxville Division of the FBI launched an electronic billboard campaign in two states seeking the public’s help in identifying a serial bank robber active in East Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. The individual is suspected of being involved in the robberies of at least four banks in Tennessee and Kentucky.

The suspect is considered armed and dangerous. During some of the robberies, the suspect has been armed with a black, semi-automatic handgun. He is described as a white male, mid to late 20s, approximately 5’8” to 5’10” tall with a medium to heavy build. The suspect has attempted to alter his appearance by wearing wigs of various lengths and colors.

A reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of this individual. Anyone with information should contact the Knoxville Division of the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or call their local law enforcement office.

This matter is being investigated jointly by the Knoxville FBI Safe Streets Task Force, Louisville FBI, Barbourville, Kentucky, Police Department, Campbell County, Tennessee, Sheriff’s Office, Jellico, Tennessee, Police Department, and the Kentucky State Police.

All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
