Bank robber Had Prior Experience
It seems Carl Edward Lockhart, who was arrested by Pikeville Police last Thursday for the robbery of the Virgie Branch of US Bank, had committed the same crime in the past.
Lockhart had been convicted of robbing a bank in Ferrell's Creek in September, 1987, when he took more than $300,000. He was sentenced to 45 years in federal prison, and, according to prison records, was released in July.
