He's that guy," Brown's lawyer, Bransford Shoemake, told CNN.
The captain, who had an account at the bank, was recognized by one of the employees from the way he walked and his muscular build, according to an affidavit provided to CNN by the Skiatook Police Department.Read MoreThe second robbery occurred on May 7 at the Exchange Bank in Sperry.
