Bank Robber Captured After He Stopped To Give Interview On Traffic

A man accused of robbing at least two Gwinnett County banks took time out of his busy schedule to chat with CBS46 about traffic at a busy Lawrenceville intersection.

Lawrenceville police say Eric Rivers is the man accused of robbing several Gwinnett County banks in recent weeks. They've been looking for him, and they say they caught him with the the help of CBS46.

"I think you caught him off guard. I think you surprised him," said Det. Scott Pendergrass.

Before cameras were rolling, Rivers told reporter Ashley Thompson that he wanted to take off his du-rag and hat.
