The Missouri State Highway Patrol said Joseph Young was driving 40 miles per hour on Interstate 44 near mile marker 42 Thursday morning when a patrolman pulled him over.
He had made quite a name for himself—known now as the "plaid shirt robber" for wearing those dated shirts and a hat. He hit at least 20 banks in places like South Dakota, Ohio, Kentucky and Minnesota. The latest happened in West Virginia.
Young was last seen near a wooded area near Rogersville as he was running away from the FBI, highway patrol, sheriff's deputies and police officers.
