ISSUE 13 VOLUME 30 FARRAGUT, TENNESSEE THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2017 • 1A Happy networking ‘Too Tall Bandit,’ Town robber from ’14,’16, is elusive

STAFF REPORTS ■ [email protected]

The FBI Knoxville’s Safe Streets Task Force recently released information stating the man responsible for the most recent bank robberies in Jefferson City and Strawberry Plains may be responsible for seven additional bank heists — plus the hit on Farragut Pharmacy Dec. 18, 2014, and including Capital Bank in Farragut Oct. 27, 2016 — dating back to 2009 and including Middle Tennessee banks. In the robbery of Farragut Pharmacy, the “Too Tall Bandit” “walked behind the pharmacy counter and instructed employees to place prescription opioids into a bag the robber brought with him, similar to the bank robberies,” the FBI Knoxville press release stated.
