PHOENIX, AZ – Daniel Harris, 65, finally ran out of road. The FBI snared the alleged bank robber in Phoenix, Arizona, after more than six years as a fugitive. Harris is accused of robbing the St. Louis Community Credit Union back in 2017, and has been a wanted man ever since. The capture marks the end of a long, multi-state manhunt.
The break in the case came after relentless work by the FBI’s St. Louis Division, who tracked Harris’ movements and pinpointed his location in Arizona. Agents from the Phoenix Division then moved in for the arrest. Sources inside the Bureau tell Grimy Times the operation was clean – no shots fired, no drama. Just a fugitive brought to heel.
“This wasn’t a cold case,” stated Special Agent in Charge Jay Greenberg of the FBI St. Louis Division. “Our agents never stopped pursuing leads, even after all this time. It’s a testament to their dedication and the FBI’s commitment to bringing criminals to account, regardless of how long they try to hide.” Greenberg wouldn’t comment on specifics of the investigation, citing the ongoing case.
Federal prosecutors will now move forward with the case. Harris was initially charged federally following the 2017 robbery and a warrant was issued shortly after. The feds allege Harris walked into the St. Louis Community Credit Union on March 15, 2017, and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash. He’s been on the run ever since, dodging local and federal law enforcement.
Harris is scheduled to be arraigned on August 29, 2023, in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. Expect a swift indictment and a potentially lengthy prison sentence if convicted. The FBI is tight-lipped about potential evidence, but sources suggest they have a solid case built on forensic evidence and witness testimony.
This arrest should send a message to other fugitives: the long arm of the law reaches everywhere. The FBI, despite budget cuts and political interference, continues to pursue those who attempt to evade justice. Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and bring you the gritty details as they unfold. Expect further updates following the arraignment.
