Timothy Darnell Weakley, who was arrested and prosecuted federally 12 years ago for a series of Nashville bank robberies, appears to have returned to his old ways. Weakley, 52, was taken into custody at noon today shortly after robbing the Regions Bank branch on Rivergate Parkway.

North Precinct Detective Sergeant Brad Johns and Detective Melody Saxon spotted Weakley's getaway car as he drove away from the Rivergate area. A police helicopter wound up following the car to an apartment complex on Oak Valley Drive. Weakley was taken into custody there with the assistance of officers from the Madison Precinct and Goodlettsville Police. He is suspected of robbing Regions Bank's 5707 Nolensville Pike Branch Tuesday, attempting to rob SunTrust Bank's 4604 Charlotte Avenue branch Tuesday, and robbing Regions Bank's 2250 Murfreesboro Pike branch on October 4th.

Weakley registered as an ex-con with the MNPD in April 2017. He will again be prosecuted federally.
