MOBILE, Ala. - Fox 10 News Fugitive Files wants to find the last remaining suspect from a bank robbery, and FBI agents believe you might know where he is.

I’m talking about a former college basketball player, 6 foot 5 inch Brandon Payne. He faces a federal warrant for the armed robbery of the Peoples Bank and Trust in Valley Grande, Alabama, north of Selma.

Agents tell me 4 college students stormed the bank, armed with a shotgun and a handgun. They say our suspect drove the getaway car.

The FBI tells me Payne used to live at 2667 Ralston Road, off Florida Street in Mobile.  Special Agent Angela Tobon believes he may have been back in the Mobile area, very recently. “It's believed that he has a girlfriend, or more than one girlfriend in this area. He may be a new father and that may have been what's brought him back to the Mobile/Theodore area,” she said.

Payne is 23 years old and weighs 185 pounds. If you know where he is...call the Mobile FBI office at 251-438-3674.

All of the suspects in the bank robbery have pleaded guilty to the crime, except for Payne, who initially told agents he would cooperate with the investigation, then broke off contact.
