The FBI says the serial bank robber that robbed banks in Pauls Valley, Ardmore, and then Marietta in a span of seven days in late June is also wanted for bank robberies in New Mexico, Arkansas, Mississippi, and four robberies this spring in Louisiana, where the feds say he started his spree
and why they've deemed him the "Bayou Bandit."

The FBI says he typically enters the bank and presents a note to the teller demanding money, as he did in all three Oklahoma robberies. He's described as a white man, 40 to 50 years old, around six feet tall, with an average build.

The bureau says a reward of up to $20,000 is being offered for information leading to his identification, arrest, and conviction.
