A man Kansas Highway Patrol troopers arrested Tuesday morning at Lawrence Municipal Airport was the third suspect federal agents were seeking in connection with a Nov. 6 bank robbery in Gladstone, Mo.

“We’ll catch him any way that we can, and in this case, it was the good work of the Kansas Highway Patrol that got him into custody,” said Jeff Lanza, an FBI special agent in Kansas City, Mo.

Kevin Williams Jr., 25, Olathe, is scheduled to appear before a federal judge this afternoon in Kansas City, Kan. After the hearing he likely will be transferred to custody in Missouri, said Don Ledford, a spokesman for U.S. Attorney John F. Wood.

Williams was indicted Dec. 4 by a federal grand jury on one count of bank robbery, according to federal court documents. Two other men, Raul Garcia and Cole Brownlee, who already are in custody, also were indicted in connection with the robbery at the US Bank in Gladstone, Mo.

According to court documents, Williams and Garcia are suspected of producing a note that said “THIS IS A ROBBERY!” to a bank teller. The teller gave the men $2,169. The bank is insured with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

Lanza, the FBI special agent, said troopers in Douglas County arrested Williams on Tuesday morning on the federal armed bank robbery warrant.

Kansas Highway Patrol Master Trooper Dennis Tate took Williams into custody while he was at the Lawrence Municipal Airport asking staff members to call him a taxi to get to Topeka.

Troopers and officers with other agencies were looking for Williams after he crashed a car on a Kansas Turnpike bridge over the Kansas River and fled the accident scene, according to the highway patrol. Troopers said they believed the car was stolen from Kansas City, Mo.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said Wednesday that investigators had not forwarded any information to his office for consideration of local charges.

If convicted of the federal bank robbery count, Williams and his co-defendants face up to 20 years in prison and a maximum $250,000 fine.
