Police arrest the suspect in a Friday morning bank.
Marcus Oliver was found at a house on Dewey Street around 10:30. Police say tips lead them to their suspect. It was about an hour earlier, at 9:30, when the Trustmark on Highway 18 was held up. That’s about 2-miles away.
Police believe it was Oliver who walked into the bank, pulled a gun, demanded money from a teller, and then robbed two customers. He faces a charge of bank robbery and 2 counts of armed robbery.
The FBI is assisting JPD with this investigation.

Congratulation to them for solving the case. Job well done. Just about every industry needs some debt relief these days, but some have been stoically quiet during the recession. Restaurants need debt relief, believe it or not – though you can’t buy a Congressman with cheeseburgers. (Like they don’t take bribes – it’s irrefutable at this point.) Standard & Poor, the rating agency, has singled out a few franchises with financial issues, specifically Perkins, Kripsy Kreme, and Sbarro’s. Perkins, akin to Denny’s or Shari’s, suffered a nearly $10 million shortfall since 2008, Kripsy Kreme has been plagued with debt problems since 2005, and Sbarro’s hasn’t been able to open new locations and is bleeding cash. Restaurants are one of the most common entry level employers, so perhaps restaurants deserve some debt relief.
