Man arrested in Mississippi in connection with Huntsville bank robbery suspected in others
Authorities in Mississippi say a man arrested Thursday is suspected in a bank robbery that same day in Huntsville.
The Tishomingo County Sheriff’s Office said Scott Alan Tyner, 50, of Arkansas, was arrested at about 1 p.m. Thursday in Iuka, Miss.
According to the sheriff’s office, investigators received a tip that Tyner, who is also suspected in a Springfield, Mo. bank robbery, might be in the area. A suspected vehicle was spotted leaving a Walmart in Iuka, a town of about 3,000 in the northeastern part of the state.
Tyner, who officers say was armed, was arrested without incident after a brief pursuit.
Tishomingo County officials said Tyner is wanted in multiple states and will have pending charges from several jurisdictions.
According to Huntsville police, officers responded to a robbery call at Truist Bank, at 4955 University Drive, at around 11:15 a.m.
It is unclear if any money was taken.
