PHOENIX - A man suspected of robbing four Phoenix-area banks since September has been arrested, according to the FBI.
They said members of the FBI Phoenix Violent Crimes Task Force took 29-year-old William Cantrell into custody without incident following a bank robbery in Mesa last week.
FBI officials said Cantrell is being held on suspicion of four counts of bank robbery and one count of attempted bank robbery.
It was unclear on Nov. 9 if Cantrell has a lawyer yet who can speak for his case.
