Brewster is suspected of robbing as many as 10 banks over the last three months in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, North Carolina, Tennessee, Illinois, Missouri, and Pennsylvania.
He was given the name of “Bucket List Bandit” by law enforcement because he allegedly told tellers he had only months to live .
The Bucket List Bandit was the subject of a nationwide publicity campaign by the FBI.
