SAN DIEGO – An apparent amphetamine addict was charged in El Cajon Superior Court Wednesday with hold-ups of 12 credit union and banks over the past nine months. Bradley Spagnolo is charged with robbing credit unions and banks in La Mesa, El Cajon and San Diego, including branch offices of First Future CU, Washington Mutual, Wells Fargo, Bank of the West. The prosecutor said there is a “substantial methamphetamine addiction,” and was robbing banks to feed that addiction. Spagnolo told bank tellers he was armed when he demanded money but never displayed a weapon or threatened anyone, police said. He was jailed in jail in lieu of $1 million bail pending a June 6 hearing to determine if there is sufficient evidence for a trial.
