James Eickel Arrested for Bank Robbery in Ohio

Saturday, March 13, 2010 | 11:00 AM
Once upon a time James Eickel was a top privateer on the AMA Motocross and Supercross circuits, as well as Arenacross. Today, the 39-year-old former pro is in jail after turning himself in for robbing a U.S. Bank inside a Giant Eagle grocery store on Thursday. According to a news report on 10TV, police were looking for "the Bono bandit" after surveillance video captured a man in the process of holding up the bank. Once the tape was released, calls flooded in saying the bank robber looked like James Eickel, of nearby Grove City, and he soon turned himself in.
