David Tidwell told authorities that he robbed the credit union because he had bills to pay.

The robberies were committed July 27 and last Wednesday by a lone gunman later identified as Tidwell by tellers who were shown a series of photos of possible suspects.

Tidwell confessed to the robberies and told authorities he chose the credit union because he had an account there and, with no job, knew he couldn’t get a loan.
