COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – Yesterday, we reported on the arrest of a man suspected of robbing banks in 5 states, dubbed the “Barrel Chested Bandit”.

Now we’ve learned he’s also accused in a failed hold up in Colorado Springs.  50 year-old Anthony Lane was arrested in Arizona Wednesday.

Police say he demanded cash at gunpoint from a Chase Bank near Woodmen and Academy on February 3rd.

When the teller opened their drawer, it was empty, so lane left.  He’s allegedly responsible for at least a dozen bank robberies in Colorado, Texas, Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico.
