DENVER | A man authorities consider one of the most violent bank robbers in Colorado history has been arrested, less than a month after he was added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.
The FBI says 25-year-old Myloh Jaqory Mason was arrested Friday night, Jan. 15, at a suburban Denver motel.
The agency says he and two other men in skeleton masks brutalized tellers during a Nov. 18 robbery before breaking into a man’s house, shooting him and driving off in his minivan. Investigators say the men crashed the van and shot a woman while trying to steal her car.
The men also are accused of wearing masks from the movie “Scream” during a Sept. 30 robbery in which they shoved guns in tellers’ faces. All three suspects have now been arrested.
Mason has been charged with attempted first-degree murder, aggravated robbery, attempted second-degree kidnapping, first-degree assault and second-degree assault in Jefferson County. He also faces a federal charge of being a convicted felon in possession of a ballistic vest, according to the FBI Denver Division.
“The capture of this dangerous felon means our community is safer, because we believe Mason would have continued committing violent crimes while he was on the run,” said FBI Denver Division Special Agent in Charge Thomas Ravenelle. “I thank each of the task force members for their hard work and commitment, as they worked day and night to get him behind bars.”
