VANCOUVER, Wash. — The U.S. Marshals Service says a 41-year-old man sought on a felony arrest warrant in a Longview robbery has been arrested in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Seattle FBI spokeswoman Ayn Dietrich said last month that agents and police in Oregon and Washington were looking for Anthony James Martinis in connection with six recent Northwest bank robberies, three in Oregon and three in Washington.
Acting U.S. Marshal David Miller in Vancouver, Washington, said Tuesday that the Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force developed information that the man was at an Oklahoma City motel. Members of the Marshals Service arrested Martinis on Monday at the motel.
The bank robberies took place in Lacey, Yakima and Longview as well as Salem, Eugene and Cottage Grove in Oregon.
The FBI earlier said information suggested the man might be heading toward Arizona.
