BREAKING: Police Identify 'The Aviator' Bank Robbery Suspect

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Police have identified the man the FBI dubbed "The Aviator," who is suspected in multiple bank robberies in which the robber was wearing aviator-style sunglasses.

Michael Eugene Stratton, 45, of the 500-block of West Presstman Street in Baltimore, is charged with two counts of robbery and is being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center without bail, police said Sunday.

He was taken into custody following a bank robbery Friday at Wells Fargo on Reisterstown Road in Pikesville.

Once notified at 1:08 p.m. Friday about the bank robbery, authorities said they immediately cut off access to roads that were likely escape routes.

At 1:20 p.m., a law enforcement officer saw a Ford Taurus leave the line of traffic stopped on eastbound Old Court Road. When the Taurus pulled across the center lane and drove toward him, the officer shot at the vehicle and struck the driver through the front windshield, police said.

The vehicle continued on, crossing through the intersection of Falls Road before proceeding onto Ruxton Road and hitting a citizen's vehicle, which then crashed into another vehicle, according to police. Oddis Bernard Colvin Jr., 33, of the 8400 block of Winands Road in Pikesville, was pronounced deceased, police reported.

The surviving suspect — Stratton — sustained injuries that authorities said were not believed to be life-threatening and was taken into custody. He was identified by police as "The Aviator," for whom the FBI had issued a lookout Thursday after he had allegedly robbed three banks so far this month.
