Former Ohio State football player is now the suspect in 9 bank robberies
Last week, Marcus Williamson a former Ohio State football player was charged with aggravated robbery while in possession of a deadly weapon.
The 25-year-old former defensive back was accused of robbing First Merchants Bank in Columbus, Ohio, but that may not be the only bank robbery he committed.
A Columbus police detective testified in court that Williamson is a suspect in at least eight other bank robberies in March and April. The detective said Williamson always used a note to say he had a gun and was demanding money.
Williamson was caught on Wednesday but did not have a gun on him.
Williamson was a star football player who played at the IMG Academy in Florida. He was a defensive back and a starter for the Ohio State football team playing in 47 games.
Williamson received All-Big Ten Conference honors twice in his time at Ohio State. So this is a pretty sad case.
