Second Bank Robber Nailed

By Mark Vasto
Police arrested and have in custody the second suspect from last week's armed robbery of the Commerce Bank in Parkville Commons.

The FBI announced that Woodrow McCoy, 36, was arrested the day after the Wednesday, January 27 robbery. He was the alleged accomplice of Michael Scott, 53. Scott was arrested within an hour of the robbery after a high speed action chase ended with a car crash in nearby Kansas City, Kansas. McCoy was able to escape from the vehicle.
