And as it turns out, suspect Robert Francis Krebs has a decades-old criminal record for stealing from banks, including a 1981 robbery in Florida in which a branch manager and a teller were handcuffed and left in a vault.

He also did time for theft and armed robbery convictions from Arizona dating back to 1980. He was released from prison in Florida last summer and has since been found to have violated his probation because he didn’t disclose his whereabouts to authorities, according to the Florida Department of Corrections. Krebs, who is tossed in the clink Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! on a $50,000 bond, was booked on suspicion of armed robbery in the Tucson, Arizona, robbery.
