Hilltop Man Sentenced In Multi-State Bank Robbery Spree

Columbus Division of Police

A Hilltop man has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for committing bank robberies in four states including Ohio. 49-year-old William McBride Junior pleaded guilty earlier this year to six counts of armed robbery. According to court documents, the robberies took place between between June and August of 2014. The break in the case came when someone reported his license plate following a robbery in St. Clairsville and police arrested him at a Columbus-area hotel.

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.
