Nineteen-year-old Andrew Maberry was arrested and charged with one count of bank robbery in connection with a July 3 robbery at Commerce Bank in Missouri.
"We want to thank the news media and digital billboard companies for providing coverage on the I-55 Bandit," said Special Agent in Charge Dean Bryant. "We have no doubt Maberry's surrender was a direct result of the extensive media attention. We also appreciate the dozens of solid tips we were provided by the public. The FBI has long relied on the public to help identify and capture criminals."
The I-55 Bandit is believed to have robbed 10 banks and attempted to rob two others in five states - Illinois, Missouri, Maryland, West Virginia and Tennessee.
Maberry is from O'Fallon, Illinois.
