Another Suspect Arrested In December Credit Union Robbery

Fairfield police said today that a San Francisco man was arrested for the robbery of a credit union in Fairfield in December.

Johnnie Ledbetter, 45, was booked into San Francisco County Jail and is expected to be extradited to Solano County, police Lt. Kevin Carella said. Police said he has an extensive criminal history.

Police said Ledbetter is believed to be one of the two robbery suspects as well as the driver of the first getaway vehicle used in the heist of the Solano Federal Credit Union in the 1000 block of Union Avenue on Dec. 12.

Two suspects, one of them armed, entered the credit union around 10:20 a.m., took control of the bank employees, robbed the bank and fled in a stolen vehicle, according to police. The robbers abandoned the stolen vehicle at Washington Street and Bell Avenue, where another vehicle was waiting to pick them up, police said.

One of the robbery suspects, Maurice Hill, 41, of Sacramento, was arrested before getting into the second getaway vehicle, while the second suspect fled on foot.

The second getaway vehicle escaped but was later found in Fairfield, police said. Police recovered a firearm and other evidence related to the robbery at the location where Hill was arrested, police said.

Hill is also considered a suspect in the armed robberies of a gas station in the 3300 block of North Texas Street on Sept. 10, 2014, and of a check-cashing store in the 2100 block of North Texas Street two days later.

In December, police arrested Gabriel Mosby, 55, believed to be the driver of the second getaway vehicle, at a residence on Kennedy Court in Fairfield. He was booked into Solano County Jail on suspicion of robbery and conspiracy.

Mosby’s trial is scheduled for Sept. 1 in Solano County Superior Court, and a date for Hill’s trial will be set on Sept. 2.
