FBI: Elderly man arrested in bank robbery fled halfway house

Goodyear, Ariz. • The FBI says an 82-year-old man arrested on suspicion of robbing a bank in Goodyear was wanted by federal authorities for leaving a halfway house.

According to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Arizona, Manrow was armed with a BB gun when he obtained about $1,270 from a bank teller.

Manrow told authorities a former drug associate funded his escape from the halfway house in Long Beach, California, last month.

The FBI says Manrow had been serving time for bank robberies. He had been charged with 11 in California, Colorado, Utah and Arizona between 2005 and 2007.
