Mississippi man dubbed ‘Superman Bank Robber’ charged in federal court with bank robbery
A Southaven, Mississippi, man who wore a t-shirt with a Superman logo during a Springfield, Missouri, bank robbery has been charged in federal court with bank robbery.
Scott A. Tyner, 50, was charged in a criminal complaint filed under seal in the U.S. District Court in Springfield, Missouri on October 6. That complaint was unsealed and made public on Friday following Tyner’s arrest in Alabama. Tyner remains in federal custody and had his initial court appearance on October 30.
The federal criminal complaint alleges that Tyner robbed Legacy Bank and Trust in Springfield on September 29.
According to an affidavit filed in support of the criminal complaint, Tyner was wearing a blue t-shirt with the Superman logo on the front and blue athletic shorts when he entered the bank on September 29. Tyner slid a note on a teller counter that read, “This is a robbery.” The teller gave Tyner $5,560, the affidavit says, and he left the bank.
Investigators determined that Tyner was driving a silver, four-door Chevrolet Silverado. The vehicle was captured by a license plate reader in Gulf Shores, Alabama, on October 1. Tyner was taken into custody on October 1 in Alabama and had his initial court appearance scheduled for October 30.
