"Buckeye Bandit" Shot By Columbus Police

Federal Bureau of Investigation

Columbus police say the so-called "Buckeye Bandit" is in custody. Ikechi Emeaghara was shot outside a Frantz Road bank yesterday after he allegedly pointed a gun at officers. Detectives have linked Emeaghara to nearly three-dozen bank robberies over the past three years. He got the nickname because he has worn Ohio State University gear in most of the holdups.

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.
