York, Ala., Police Chief David Rowry said nothing surprises him anymore.
Two suspects in a robbery of The Citizens Bank of Scooba were apprehended in York, Ala., Monday, not long after the incident.
The robbery occurred around 9:40 a.m. Monday. About an hour after that, Rowry said the men were spotted in York getting gas.
"It was the gray car here, the white car over here. When I got to the first window I went to the subject that was driving that white one, I was trying to identify him," Rowry said. "At that time the guy in the gray car jumped his car and headed north."
That's when Chief Rowry says he took off after the first suspect and was able to apprehend him just yards away by the interstate exit.
After taking the first suspect into custody at the interstate exit, Rowry said he was able to take the second suspect into custody less than a mile away at the grocery store at Larkin's Plaza. He said the suspect had gone inside the store and made some purchases. He was arrested while trying to drive out of the parking lot.
The suspects have been identified as 21-year-old Frederick Campbell of Scooba and 22-year-old Mark Butler, Jr., from Summit, Miss.
According to Kemper County authorities, Campbell is currently a student at Alcorn State University and Butler is a former student there. We're told that both have played on the football team at the university.
Meanwhile, with both vehicles, most of the money and a gun confiscated during the arrests, Sumter County authorities say it's unknown at this time if the two will face charges in that county. However, both are now definitely facing charges of armed robbery in neighboring Kemper County.
"They'll go before a judge here for their extradition back to Mississippi," said Sumter County Sheriff Johnny Hatter. "Once they get the warrants, then we have to get the fugitive of justice warrants over here and we can extradite them back to Mississippi."
Sheriff Hatter says this should occur within the next day.
