Falls Police: Suspected PNC Bank Robber Arrested in Cincinnati

Shane E. Bowlin's alleged two-week Ohio crime spree has come to an end. 

Bowlin, 38, was arrested in Cincinnati on July 6 on a misdemeanor charge of receiving stolen property, and has reportedly confessed to robbing banks in Cuyahoga Falls and Galena Village, according to Cuyahoga Falls Police Lt. Steve Guldeman and Delaware County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Tracy Whited. 

On June 29, Falls police reported the PNC bank located at 2150 State Rd. was robbed around 9:01 a.m.

Bowlin allegedly came into the bank and handed a note to the teller advising her of the robbery and that he had a weapon, although no weapon was seen. 

On July 2 at 9:05 a.m., he allegedly walked into Galena's Delaware County Bank and robbed it, said Whited. 

Bowlin reportedly confessed to a Delaware County sheriff after the detective met him personally in Hamilton County Jail following his July 6 arrest. Whited said Delaware County sheriff's are still investigating, but intend on handing their case over to the FBI for prosecution. 

Guldeman said Cuyahoga Falls police would follow suit and hand their case over to the FBI as well. 

He will likely be charged with aggravated robbery, a first-degree felony, among other crimes. 

According to the Cuyahoga Falls Facebook page, Bowlin also reportedly robbed a bank in Michigan and is wanted for questioning by U.S. Marshals.
