Hilltop Man Pleads Guilty To Robbing Multiple Banks

Columbus Division of Police

A Hilltop man has pleaded guilty to charges of robbing six banks in four states. A sentencing date is pending for  49-year-old William McBride Junior, who stole 21 thousand dollars from the banks at gunpoint between June and August in Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana. McBride was arrested in a Columbus hotel last August thanks to a tip from the public. He previously served a total of 19 years in prison for robbing six other banks.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
