Missouri ? A man suspected of robbing 14 banks in six states has been captured in Missouri after a former state trooper recognized him from media reports, authorities said.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol said in a news release Sunday that Chad E. Schaffner was arrested Saturday at a motel in the small town of Kingdom City, about 25 miles east of Columbia.

The 37-year-old Indianapolis man was wanted on felony warrants for bank robbery, burglary, armed robbery and receiving stolen property. He is suspected of robbing banks in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North and South Carolina and Tennessee.

Sgt. Paul Reinsch of the Missouri State Highway Patrol said the former trooper is from the St. Louis area and had seen the suspect’s picture on the evening news after a bank robbery in nearby Caseyville, Ill. He also had seen the suspect profiled on the television show “America’s Most Wanted.”
