Veterans step in to stop alleged serial bank robber in car chase with police
Fox News
Kelvin Wayne Simmons, 53, was arrested last week when three military veterans immobilized the alleged serial bank robber after he drove the wrong way down the interstate.
Simmons, who is accused of robbing banks in five North Carolina cities since May 25, allegedly instigated a high-speed, 115-mph police chase near the small mountain town and crashed into other cars on I-40 after attempting to carjack a woman and evade law enforcement. He reportedly let two passengers out of the car before the chase. Jon Brown is a writer for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to jon.brown@fox.com.
Simmons allegedly robbed each bank while brandishing a "Despicable Me" lunchbox. He was planning to rob a bank in Black Mountain, according to police, and had outstanding warrants in five North Carolina counties.
