David Morris, 48, has served federal prison terms for armed robbery twice and was last sent to prison for theft in early 2010 for a 30-month stint, according to authorities. He was on parole during the time of the two credit unions heists.

The branch was robbed Aug. 17 and again Aug. 29. Each time, a man walked into the E. Lake Ave. branch and implied he had a weapon. Video surveillance at the branch led to the identification of Morris.

Authorities were able to figure out Morris’ cell phone number, and the phone company traced the phone’s location.
