Randy James Fitzsimmons, a former program director forWMMX Mix 107.7 FM in Dayton from 1991-94, is in jail on charges that he committed a Nebraska bank robbery in Lincoln by passing a note to a teller, according to WHIO-TV.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports that police arrested Fitzsimmons, 57 and listed in court records as James R. Fitzsimmons, on Tuesday.
Fitzsimmons left a US Bank branch without taking anything July 29, according to police, but not before passing a note that claimed gunmen and bombs that could be detonated remotely were inside the bank.
The Journal Star reported that according to court documents, the former radio program director also known as Randy James instructed the teller to place money in a bag and to not call police. No weapons or explosives were found. No one was injured.
Police said Fitzsimmons left in an older-model, four-door white vehicle bearing Ohio license tags.
A judge has set bail at $100,000. Fitzsimmons is expected back in a Lancaster County courtroom in early September.
In March 2013, he was program director for contemporary Christian WAKW STAR 93 3 FM in Cincinnati when he announced his resignation to launch his new media company, TRUTH2VALUE.
Fitzsimmons also is accused of faking his death in 2015.
