Alabama Man Questioned in Several Miss. Bank Robberies



TUPELO, Miss.--Thirty-five-year-old Brian Perry Jones of Toney, Ala. is being held as a person of interest in Monday's hold-up of the Renasant Bank in Tupelo. Jones was arrested just hours after the robbery as he drove on the Natchez Trace Parkway in Tishamingo County. Now police are exploring the possibility that he may be responsible for other bank robberies.

The Tishamingo County sheriff told media Monday that Jones was stopped when his vehicle matched a description given out by Tupelo cops. He admitted to having pot and pills in the car and confirmed he had been in Tupelo.

Cops were looking for a man, six ft. tall, late 30s to early 40s, who walked into the bank, handed the teller a note and left with cash. Cops now tell media Jones matched that description.

They also say he could be connected with a bank robbery in Booneville from last week and one in Iuka in August.

He was charged with drug possession in Tishamingo County. WTVA reports he has not yet been charged in the Monday hold-up.
