A suspect in last

week's Fayette County bank robbery is now in

custody.

According to a

written statement issued by the Fayette County

Sheriff's Department, Danny Eugene Daniel was

picked up at approximately 11 a.m. Tuesday

without incident by the Federal Bureau of

Investigation and the Georgia Bureau of

Investigation's Metro Fugitive Squad, which the

Sheriff's Department participates in.

Authorities

received information that Daniel was in the

southwest Atlanta area before the arrest was

made. No one directly involved in the arrest was

available for comment by press time, and a

spokesman for the Sheriff's Department did not

know where Daniel was picked up.

Daniel, 26,

allegedly robbed the Talbot State Bank on Ga.

Highway 138 near the Clayton County line the

morning of July 28, escaping into the woods

behind the bank after a dye pack in his bag

exploded. Nearly all of the money was recovered

that day by law enforcement and bank officials.

Video surveillance

cameras at the bank got several good images of

the robber, and a good deal of evidence was left

at the scene for investigators, Maj. Bruce Jordan

of the Sheriff's Department said last week.

Authorities had the

suspect identified at least a day before the

arrest, while continuing to search for him,

police said.
