(KAIR)--A suspected bank robber is in custody.
That word is released by the FBI following the arrest of the man accused of robbing a Platte County bank earlier this month.
KQ2-TV reports Jesse Bud Leaverton was apprehended early Thursday morning in southern Missouri.
The 58-year-old is blamed for the robbery of four banks, including the Platte Valley Bank, in Dearborn, Missouri, on June 20th.
The federal warrant for Leaverton's arrest was issued after he allegedly robbed a bank in Tulsa, Oklahoma just days after the Dearborn bank was targeted.
The FBI earlier reported that Leaverton, during the alleged robberies, produced a demand note and stated he had a weapon.
Following his arrest, Leaverton was transported to Oklahoma where he was booked into the Tulsa County Jail.
