MOORE, OK. -- Agents from the FBI have arrested a church pastor at the Oklahoma's Educator's Credit Union in connection with several bank robberies in the Metro.
The FBI says the man they arrested Thursday, 41-year-old Warren Brown, is a pastor at Bible Baptist Church in Norman.
A tip received by the FBI indicated Brown could be the person the Bureau was seeking. FBI agents began surveillance of Brown two days ago.
Thursday morning, agents followed Brown to the Oklahoma's Educator's Credit Union where they watched him go in and case the facility. He then exited the building, put on a hood and pair of glasses. When he went back in he handed the teller a note.
Outside the bank Brown was greeted by six agents. Another agent, who was inside the bank, came out as well. The FBI said Brown has admitted to six robberies.
"Right now I just don't want to answer any questions," said Brown's wife.
"This was a major shock to me," said congregation membr Mickey Fabri.
"[We're] very excited to solve somebody who has robbed five banks," said FBI spokesman Gary Johnson. "He clearly was going to keep robbing banks until he was caught."
Brown appeared before a federal magistrate and was then booked into the Oklahoma County jail.
The FBI has not released a possible motive for the robberies, but one congregation member said hard times had hit the church and it was no longer able to pay his pastoral salary.
