Loan Ranger Bandit

The Loan Ranger Bandit^[1] is an American bank robber who committed a series of bank robberies throughout the states of Texas, Mississippi, Kentucky and Arkansas,^[2] beginning in 2009. The Loan Ranger Bandit has been positively identified as 37-year-old Richard Swicegood of Waxahachie, Texas following a traffic stop by Arkansas State Police in early July, 2014 thanks to his trademark mask, gun and bag with a dollar sign on it. The traffic stop followed a robbery of the Summit Bank in Benton, Arkansas on July 1, 2014 believed to have been committed by Swicegood.^[3]^[4]

The robber is responsible for at least ten separate bank robberies according to the FBI.^[5] In addition, the FBI's major case hotline cites a number of initial options to a caller, one of which is for those seeking to provide information to the FBI on the Loan Ranger Bandit. On March 11, 2015, a federal judge sentenced 38-year-old Richard Wayne Swicegood (aka “Lone Ranger Bandit”) of Waxahachie, Texas, to 40 years in federal prison for committing 13 armed bank robberies in Texas and Arkansas.^{[citation needed]}
