A Lanexa man has been arrested and charged in connection with two separate bank robberies in Hampton.

Colt Lee Weatherby, 26, of the 15700 block of Pocahontas Trail, was arrested on Jan. 24 after Hampton authorities contacted New Kent Sheriff’s Office concerning eight felony warrants issued in that city. The warrants were in relation to separate bank robberies that occurred last October.

Around midnight on Jan. 24, New Kent deputy David Teagle observed a male leaving the aforementioned address. Teagle identified the male as Weatherby and took the suspect into custody without incident. Weatherby has since been transferred to the custody of Hampton police and is being held in Hampton jail without bond.
