Schott entered the bank brandishing

a 12-gauge pump shotgun at approximately 12:35 p.m. April 2.

He fled the bank with an undisclosed

amount of cash and was confronted in the bank parking lot by a lone Union

City Police Officer. The officer chased Schott into a nearby wooded area

where he was quickly captured and all the robbery loot recovered.

At the time of the Union City

robbery, Schott was already wanted in a two-week string of five bank robberies

in Jacksonville and Gainesville, Florida. Schott was identified as the

suspect in the Florida robberies on March 27, 2003, after evidence of

one of those robberies was discovered in a Stockbridge motel room along

with the lifeless remains of his girlfriend, Marsha Ann Lanford.

Investigators determined that

Lanford died of a drug overdose approximately 24 hours prior to the discovery

of her body.

Schott had fled the motel room

leaving Lanford's body and evidence of one of the Florida bank robberies

behind.

Schott currently is charged
