Crystal River Bank Robbery Suspect Captured Within Seven Hours

The suspect in a robbery at Capital City Bank in Crystal River has been apprehended just seven hours after the crime was reported, according to the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office.

Thanks to swift efforts by the Sheriff’s Criminal Investigations Division, Forensics Unit, and tips from alert community members who recognized the individual in released surveillance images, authorities arrested 54-year-old William Burton Clarkson.

The bank robbery occurred earlier in the day, prompting investigators to release still photos of the suspect captured by security cameras. Those images quickly led to public assistance in identifying Clarkson.

Clarkson was located and taken into custody without incident. Authorities have not yet released further details about the robbery or charges filed. The investigation remains ongoing.
