Bank Robbery Suspect Caught, Also Wanted For Robbing Two Fast Food Restaurants
April 1, 2010
[Updated] The man responsible for a robbery at a Nine Mile Road bank on Wednesday and two fast food restaurant robberies earlier in the week is now behind bars.
Richard Andrew Ray, 37 of Pensacola was taken into custody in Mobile by a fugitive task force.
The latest robbery occurred just after noon Wednesday at the Bank of America at 31 East Nine Mile Road when a man walked in, handed a note to a teller, and fled with a handful of cash.
Ray acted as if he had a handgun, according to Sgt. Ted Roy, spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Office. The man fled the bank with an undisclosed amount of money and was last seen eastbound from the bank on a bicycle, Roy said. No one was injured in the robbery.
Ray is also wanted for the Sunday night robbery of the McDonald’s restaurant at 123 East Nine Road and the Monday night robbery of the Arby’s Restaurant at 18 East Nine Mile Road. In both robberies, a while male entered and demanded money from the register while also displaying what appeared to be a handgun under his shirt.
All witnesses in the three cases identified Ray as the suspect from a photo lineup, according to Roy.
Anyone with information about the robberies is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620.

he looks like he’s on something
Lighten up John, I know Ray has no connection to Obama. This poor man has enough problems I don’t want to add more to him. As for Obama being president, he was elected and I hope the man gets his second term. That way when all this healthcare garbage comes into effect in his second term, then he will go down as the worst president in history. He already is in my eyes.
Correction to my earlier post. I mean it’s inane to make a correlation to this guy as working for President Obama.
I originally said it was ridiculous to make a connection as bill, big b little ill did to the robber being friends with President Obama.
Yes bill, big b little ill I have made comments concerning the President and his decisions and about those who have led the country before. However I can’t say that I’ve made ridiculous comments on a news forum about a man being arrested for bank robbery and fast food restaurant robbery as a friend of President Obama. It just shows inane behavior to say something like that when it’s not related to the actual news story.
Good Jobs Officers, for a job well done in capturing yet another criminal and getting them off the streets!
dang it another potential Palin voter busted. maybe he’ll get paroled by2012
Richard,
I knew you as a TOP employee of a national, well known company.
I don’t know what you have been through, but I see it has sent you in the wrong direction.
I know you are better then this action………..get through this, go forward and then move in the right direction.
I will be hoping & praying for you.
come on now john, you have never joked about a president.
I can’t resist…bill, big b little ill…I’m SO glad you can only think of President Obama jokes…they are SO funny!!! NOT!!
Tell me William, you say in the rules no personal attacks. Do attacks or jokes about the President not apply to the rules because most readers are anti-Obama? I see other personal attacks on others with differing viewpoints on here that don’t abide by your rules that get posted.
Go on….. take the money and ride your bike…
Go on… take the money and ride your bike……
Hmmmm… just doesn’t have the same ring to it….
yea sally, I think he works for obama.
anybody know him?
What a shame
I’ll take all your money and a side of fries.
Must have been one of those 27 speed bikes, he blazes through the streets like a blurred vision so fast no one can see him.
Another case of robbing to get drug money????? Legal or street drugs!!!!Drugs, a major problem!!! Gang money, terrorist money, DESTROYS everyone’s live!!!!
all i can say is the cat got away on his bike…….
The dude must really peddle fast! How in the world do you get away on a bike? Either he is fast, response was slow (which I doubt), or he had a near-by hidey-hole.
Wow was this GANG related too?
molinojim, I’m sure that the Obama admin, can find a place for him.
Hey—give him credit for trying to improve his life. Hit the fast food places and use the money to buy a bike. Rob a bank and get more money and may be able to buy a car—next a house and so on. He was able to figure out that there was more money at a bank than at the fast food places. Upward movement—the American dream. Being able to rob and steal and he did this all without being a member of congress.
Either way,you get the meaning!!!
Sorry about the spelling of vacationing….guess it’s ’cause I am not perfect…..:)
