The suspect in bank robberies across the U.S. who was nicknamed the "Granddad Bandit" by the FBI has pleaded not guilty in federal court in Virginia.
Michael Francis Mara of Baton Rouge, La., entered his plea to
two bank robbery counts Friday, and a judge set his trial for Nov.
18. Another judge ruled that the 53-year-old Mara must remain
imprisoned until trial.
Mara is suspected in 25 bank robberies in 13 states, including a holdup in Wichita. The FBI says the "Granddad
Bandit" nickname was devised to help law enforcement and the
public easily identify the suspect, whose picture was posted on
billboards across the country. Mara was arrested last month after a
six-hour standoff with police at his home.
