VANCOUVER, Wash. (UPI) -- Court documents showed the suspect in the so-called Waddling Bandit cases involving 20 bank robberies in Washington and Oregon is worth $4 million.
Police in Vancouver, Wash., arrested Robert Christie, 71, this week on suspicion of robbing the financial institutions over the last two years, Portland, Ore., television station KPTV reported. A U.S. magistrate said Christie's assets make him a flight risk, ordering that he remain jailed until his hearing next month.
Christie's family said it's hard to imagine that he's the bank robber, considering his worth.
The FBI had named the thief the "Waddling Bandit" because of the way he walked, the TV station said.
